TV screen shows "No Signal" message

[anthen]

Dear all,

I'm new to this forum.

Recently, i got my new dreambox 888 a few days ago which i order online. It works fine for the first time, and when i switched it off and on back again, the problem occurs.

1) The dreambox LED light remains "Green" in colour.
2) No reponse from the controller.
3) TV screen appear" No Signal" message.

i emailed to my supplier, and they ask me to connect the dreambox to my PC via RC232 cable (unfortunately, i cant find it at HomeFix or Best Denki shops.). and the link they provided me is unavailable.

any "old bird" can help me on this?

Go Sim Lim Square and buy

1) RS232 Null Modem Cable
2) Aten RS232 serial to USB adapter (Buy this if you do not have a coms port on your pc) - Goto Level 4/5 Bizgram


By the way, you sure you connected the signal cable correctly? From the wall to the box?

thanks for your prompt reply.

Yes, i defintely sure that i have connected the signal cable correctly. (It works fine when i doing my first set-up, and i'm able to view all channels). Problems occur when i switched off and on the cable set.!

Alright. i make a trip to SLS. so what is the next after i have the RS232 cable with me?

Hi, you should be buying NULL modem cable which look like RS232 cable BUT they are not the same !!!
