Hi guys, I have been given a box to look at from a guy at work who bought it off fleebay. its a 1 x Sagem box.
It came with Commando 6 on it and he set it for his location and everythng and scanned at was fine for about 4days. The he says he lost all the channels so he tried to do another scan and it woudnt find any channels. So he gave it me to see what I could do.
It wouldnt fine any channels when I scanned either so I guessed at a corrupt image, so I reflashed the box with Commando 6, and hey presto it found al lthe channels..... BUT every channel now breaks up with freezing pictue and chirping sound.
I have tried a handful of images (Lincsat, Dons Specialist, Tardis etc) and also tried changng the EMU and the Ucodes through all variations I could find, but it does the same. My own Sagem works 99% on my line (odd freeze and lockup but not much). I checked the BER/SNR/SIG when the channel breaks up and from what I can remember (its a kein system from doing the wrong image at the moment! and my null cable is it work :-( ) the settings where 0/64600(ish)/22400(ish i think!)
I have tried the old disconnect the modem and have checked for dry joints where the tuner attaches to the main board and on the tuner itself but cant see anything wrong at all.
Has anyone any ideas before i have to go back to work and tell him hes wasted £130 and that maybe he should have bought a dreambox ;-)
regards
