    deleted all the missing channels that i was on about above, now the damn thing wont even find those channels, it was finding them last night and stuff, just the blank screen i was on about, i dunno whats going on, its strange its those channels and its even more strange that other people are reporting the same problem, hmmmm, iam lost now.

    I was thinking about signal issue as i know about signal issues all too well with the 500C, but i dont think that if it was a signal issue that it would actually find the channels, and display the epg on the channels too for the current programs etc, would it ? (if it was a signal issue i mean)

    p.s
    tried scanning on old and new tuner too.

    ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG......... , done a zillion scans now trying different things, and still the channels are not even being detected now , its easy enough for me to plug in the booster and try that way, but i think all i will do then is make all my perfect signal channels worse because i will be forcing the signal to be stronger etc, 95% of channels are perfect, just the ones ive been on about are the problems now, and they never used to be.

    whats the odd;s on a reflash fixing this and maybe a different image ?? ive never had a prob with this image until now.

    Thumbs up Working at last.............

    I had the same problem, i have a enigma image. I scanned through Bruteforce and all the channels came not working.

    I managed to find all the channels in a folder under providers called UKNOWN. All my working channels had somehow all been shifted to this one folder.

    I am up and running again. I am not sure if this is the same case in other images.

    i hope this helps just glad got all my channels back.

    Default DM500c lost all channels, black screen "service could not be found" help plz.

    Hi,

    I have similar problem with my dm500c since yesterday morning, suddenly all channels disappeared, dont even get the egp for any channels. I am on a dk image, and it has been a treat for the last year or so. Did all sorts of restarts etc. nothing works. I am in NW London area and old tlwst.

    Thank you all.

    ive had a look again for the channels and i cant find them , what i can find though is a few called "service removed" and they appear to be some of the missing channels as when i click on them i can see the epg etc, but still just a blank screen.

    channels iam on about are ones like E4, E4+1, Film 4, film 4+1, and some of the discovery channels, there are probably more missing but ive not came across them yet, all other channels such as sky sports and sky movies etc work just fine.

    p.s
    and i dont see any folder called "unknown" either.

    For people who already have a dreambox 500c can we just add the 500s tuner inside instead of buying a whole new box ?

    I have vm and want to make the most of it before the switch over is compulsory unless you enjoy the black screen

    no you cant switch the tuners, well technically you can but its a very difficult job from what i remember and not worth the hassle.

    anyway, back to the missing channels now

    you could use dreambox edit or the remote, what you do is goto all services and see if any of your channels have epg guide if so press ok if it shows then leave it if it doesnt press menu then a screen should come up scroll down to delete and carry on doing that

    ive gave up trying to get those few channels back, i get the missing ones on my sky box anyway, so no big deal, i may reflash the dreambox at some point when i can be bothered, .

    iam using DW image (DW 2.1), is there any better one than that or is that pretty much best to use ?? ive tried neutrino but those kind of images dont work good in this area, get some picture breakup with them.

    try dkv1.1 mate it always picks up missing channels when you delete then do a bruteforce scan. Hope you get it sorted.

    is that an enigma image mate ?

    if so, do you or anyone have the channels all sorted out in bouqets etc, would be handy if someone had it all ready to go rather than me messing around arranging channels etc.

    I'm getting the same with certain channels. SS1 is ok but not SS2 or 3. Will attempt to re flash the image and hope that solves it. I'll report back me findings. Good luck

    Just lost E$PN, rebooted, scanned bruteforce and rescanned, E$PN still not showing, but after checking all the other channels E$PN reappeared. WEIRD but all OK for now.

    Had the same problem with regional and multi showing channels, tried to delete but kept returning, ended up using parent controls, locking the unwanted channels and then hiding them.
