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....

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

ok..thanks metman....i will try that later....and let you know how i got on. you don't think its got anything to do with the tuner???

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)

nice1 mate....it had no services file in there...and now the scan seems to be picking up the channels....thanks a lot......and please keep answering my questions with that avatar....
