DM500 help - flashed but cant get a lock

[ramsey]

I recently got a Envision Super Dreambox, i finally managed to flash it with with Dream-multimedia-tv image file after 5 days of playing around with this thing.When i try to do a scan though im still not having any luck getting a lock on any of the transponders, i have no idea where i should go from here. We do have a subscription to VM, internet, phone and basic tv package.

The about tab shows the following info if it helps:

Dream-Multimeia-TV
DM500
Processor: STBx25xx. 252Mhz
Frontend: Cable

Software Version:
release 1.0.9. 03.08.2006

any help is much appreciated, im at a complete loss as to what to do next!
