    I get no channels when scanning

    hi, please help.!

    I have just flashed my box and when i do a scan now...it finds the transponders and everything but finds no channels at all, not even data. If anyone can enlighten me as to whats up...very much appreciated....

    i've just flashed the new commando 10 image on.

    thanks in advance.

        do you pay any cable subs?
        looks like you may have been disconnected from the junction box

                hook ur dbox with a goog img to a pc - use a ftp proggy to transfer over ur service file to the pc from the var/tubox/config/zapit folder and then connected the other box and transfer the service file over

                    this should prove it....usually a weak tuner doesn't seem to affect the scan but the ability to view the channel....ie low snr (signal - noise ratio)
