Dreambox 500c

[Prablo]

Hi Guys,

i have a dreambox 500c, on thursday morning i keep getting service cannot be found... i went to sky sports 1, held info and stopped evo and started it and left it for 10 minutes and still says the same thing... Wondering if anyone has this problem, or if anyone can help me resolve this issue..

Thanks

Can you still get FTA channels like BBC1?

If you can, where are you based? Leeds is reported to have been upgraded to N3 encryption and dreamboxes (or any non subscription cable box) no longer work for encrypted channels like Sky Sports 1 in that region.

If you're not in Leeds, when was the last time you re-scanned? Perhaps just try a new scan?

If that doesn't work perhaps you should be to re-flash your image and re-upload the magic files.

If you cannot get FTA then it must be a signal issue, either there is no signal or something is corrupting it. Try removing anything else from the incoming cable, remove any splitters etc.

Do you have a subscription? If not maybe they turned off the feed to your home at the cabinet. They do that from time to time.

99% of all problems with channels missing are down to signal strength issues.

Try removing any splitters and connecting directly to the cable feed and then try a rescan and see if it picks up your missing channels.

Might be worth posting your signal strength and your BER should be 0

Cheers

Hi mate could you tell me what the best thing to search it on.. i search it on bruteforce for uk somethink like that.. When i get home i will post up the signal strenth and the BER.. one other question is there a new image for the dreambox 500c? becuase ever since i bought i havent updated it..

Do you subscribe to VM in any way?

If not you may have been disconnected.

Test the line with a multimeter see it is still live.
