    so you are only getting fta channels, are these viewable? Do you have any subbed channels in your bouquets?

        could be signal fault if you only get 80 chnls
        put a channel service file in for your area

        press red then blue you will see your signal ion there

                location set correctly.
                no, do not have a backup.

                  put it on a working FTA channel, press red button and post your sign readings - SNR , BER, etc.

                        nokia dbox2

                        i'm having problems with my nokia dbox2. i think mine is more severe though. when i go to channel scan page, under 'frequency' it say's- 'internal error, please report'. for 'area' it say's 'kabel deutschland'. i have changed my location to 'nw, preston', also i have tried all the new codes, tried new scan, tried everything i can physically try. everytime i enter new info and reboot, it goes back to the above. i don't know how to link dbox2 upto my pc, so i can't do any more than use remote control. is there anyone in the preston area who is capable of repairing this box as my next move could be to aim for my lounge window . i only get the normal tv channels, i'm in telepest area.

                          the cables.xml is wrong if you're getting 'kabel deutschland' - it'd be easier to reflash a newer image
