helping hand scanning required

[maddywork]

hia all....i've had a dbox2 for just under a year now....and some channels have gone last night...it just says "channel not available"....
the only experience that i have of the dbox2 is how to use it to watch cable channels....i dont know anything about making one or how to set one up!!!
after reading some of the previous posts about the same problem over the last 24 hours or so i've managed to take in that they have moved channels around and that i need to do a scan.

after reading some more i stumbled upon liamcrayden's post/tutorials (http://www.world-of-digital.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58310) that show u how to do a scan.....

brilliant guide, easy to follow, after reading it i think i should be able to follow it....the only query i have is that in the "service scan" screen of my box it says:

Service scan......all services
Bouquet.............update
cable provider....Bruteforce
fast scan.............off

and the guide that i'm following suggests to change the values to:

Scan for Services: TV & Radio
Bouquet: Overwrite Existing
Cable Provider: (don;t know what to change this to)
Fast Scan: Off

.....so if i change the values to the ones that it suggests in the guide i should be ok? and also what do i change the cable provider to before i start the scan?


i'm in the m8 area of manchester and i'm on ex c&w

i'll appreciate any help...iv done the reading and just need a gently push in the right direction thats all

cheers maddy

Change bouquet to leave existing or keep existing
Im sure you are 6952 for cable provider
takes about 20 to 30 mins or longer wait till it finishes the reboot the box.

Hello m8, it dont matter if u cant change it to sym6952 as bruteforce will pick up all channels available to you. it uses a more agressive scanning technique. i always used bruteforce and got all channels working no probs.

hope that helps!

cheers for that bit of info mate, im new to this, how long does it take ive got it doing a scan at this moment, been about 13 minutes, before i did the scan, i had about 250 channels listings, ie, mtv,skysports , movies etc,, basically all the channels that you would expect to get, but no picture, just channel listings and the message, " error, no channel"

takes about 20 to 30 mins
finds transponders first then channels in the last 10 mins usually.

i thinks its finished as it is showing

"transponder scan finished succesfully"

but the other infi is blank, ie, provider, channel etcc, is that wrong
