DM500 help - flashed but cant get a lock

**ramsey**

I recently got a Envision Super Dreambox, i finally managed to flash it with with Dream-multimedia-tv image file after 5 days of playing around with this thing.When i try to do a scan though im still not having any luck getting a lock on any of the transponders, i have no idea where i should go from here. We do have a subscription to VM, internet, phone and basic tv package.

The about tab shows the following info if it helps:

Dream-Multimeia-TV
DM500
Processor: STBx25xx. 252Mhz
Frontend: Cable

Software Version:
release 1.0.9. 03.08.2006

any help is much appreciated, im at a complete loss as to what to do next!

you need to change your symbol rate to 6887 or 6952 depending on your area then scan also you want to tick yes for network scan
