the same thing has just happened to me,

everything was working fine, i was updating the channel list through dbedit, i updated it a cuple time uploaded it it was working fine, then i updated it again and then sent the list, restart the box and see that all the channels are greyed out and the message "Service unavailable!
Check tuner configuration!"

i try to rescan however in the service searching menu the satellite section is empty and when i try to change it i get the green screen and the box restarts enigma i think, becuase it doesnt look like a full reboot,

help would be much appreciated

p.s also in tuner configuration it says that nothing is conneceted to the diseqc a/b/c/d, when 5minutes ago i had all 4 sats working

p.s again - after performing a factory reset, the sats come back but wen i reload the channel lists it all goes again, now everytime i send that channel list it f**s up

Lol same here... Will check tonight but it seems strange... Hope the tuner hasnt gone faulty...

I did install the crash log plugin so hopefully I can find that and see what happened.
 
Tuner is fine mate,it's the XML file got currupt

I had it the weekend when I updated the bouquets list

Changing the XML and the tuner configuration sorted it :)

Replaced again and instead of turning off and on from back of STB I just restarted from power button on remote.
 
what and it still didnt work ?
 
just to confirm changing the XML file worked :)
 
Yes changing the XML worked but it didnt work this morning when I tried it.

The only difference was this morning I turned the box off and on from the power switch but this evening I ftp'd the XML then used the remote to reboot.
 
Maybe it didn't transfer properly ?

glad your sorted now :)

And that's quite a difference! Do you ever turn your PC off by pulling the power cable out, hmm? ;)

"Restart Enigma" and "Reboot" (even "reboot" from the Telnet command line) first flush the I/O cache, close applications, close any remaining file handles and only then restart.

Power-off is almost guaranteed to corrupt something especially in cases where something was just written to the box.
