Blank screen on dreambox

[Devilfish]

What image are you using?
Is it modified for UK cable?

Go to a premium channel (I ususally go to Sky Sports 1) and restart the emu. There is usually an option in the blue button menu, 'start/restart emu'.

Once it restarts, flick to sky sports 2, wait 5 secs flick back to sky sports 1. Give it a minute or 2 and it should come on.

can you get brute force with an images for the dm7025??? if so which ones???

Try adding this cables.xml file to /etc/tuxbox. Not sure if that's the correct folder but try it anyway.

Reboot the box after copying the file

You'll need to activate the emu,i'm assuming the image comes fully packed.

If you are getting a 'switch channel not found' error then it's a signal problem and nothing to do with the emu. Check the SNR value (Menu > Information > Stream Info > Page 3/3). If this is lower than 90% then you won't get that channel. Make sure all your coax connections are tight, disconnect and reconnect them and check again. Try removing any splitters that you've put inline and connect the box to the main feed and check again. If you now have a working channel and the SNR is about 95/96% then you have a low signal. If you want to connect the splitter back up, you will need to get a signal booster.

My dr***box was working until yesterday when I got the same message(switch channel not found). My other boxes are working fine when connected - could the signal have deteriorated or is it more likely a problem with my dr***box ?
