    What setup do you have? Do you have a cable modem, subbed box? Is your signal split in any way?

        Try removing the splitter. Plug the Dreambox directly into the wall and try scanning again m8.

          try it on the direct need from the wall, no splitters -just to see if it can get the channels

            Gemini or some other Software

            I used Gemini 3.6 3.8 or 4.x to make the DM500C working with Nagra. Still looking for a solution to make Conax working.

                What Image you using?

                Have you transfered the magic files and the Nov2008 fix to the box?

                Have you started the emu?
