Hi guys
Im having a problem with one of my dboxes that has me stumped. It keeps saying Error channel not found + waiting for time on each channel. This dbox worked before until yesterday and has the same settings on it as an identical one (both sagem 1x's) Ive tried different ucodes disabling ragra roms to no avail ad different images. Ive tested the tuner with a passthrough cable to the tv and it shows the analog channels fine. The ber is 0 snr 64400 sig 23387 bitrate is 0. Im hoping its something simple im missing.
Thanks in advance
 
the same happened to me at tha weekend, what i done was deleted service and bouquets and then ftp them back in, done a scan and channels were back
 
Yep i will check the bootlog when i get home, just purchased a null modem cable. If it is what i suspect and the cam sec chip is knackered is there anyone willing to fix it for me? Im in dublin but will post to uk.
 
hmmmm, exactly the same problem as i've got, my box is dead after the weekend, getting nothing, snr is in the low 20000's now, when it used to be up in the 60000's.

Broadband is still working fine thou?? i've tried rescanning, its as if the tuner has gone pop or something...

weird that its happened to more than 1 person
 
Your problem is not exactly the same. illumin get good numbers.
Either something is wrong with your wireing or you killed parts of the tuner with twiddling on the feed plug at a powered box.
 
strange thing but exactly the same thing happened to my mates sagem x2 using comm 6.0 last week-end. he gave it to me and i reflashed comm 7.5 and all is ok now, i thought he had been fooking around with it, which he vehemently denied. starting to feel a bit guilty now that i never believed him lol......i hope he aint reading this.
 
I was out all weekend, come back quite tipsy, trying to watch tv and the thing had given up, tried rebooting it, it didnt work, so just fell asleep lol.

Not touched it since to be honest, I know a fair bit about dboxs.

Mine currently has the Commando laid bare image on it (2x) as the box didnt really like commando 7.5, seemed to be quite slow and hang quite a bit, requiring a reboot every time.
 
This is very weird i came home plugged it in and its working fine ??????
Could this be a heat issue?
Anywhere i should look on the board for loose connections, warping etc?
Very strage indeed

Ive added my boot log
