Help 306 transponders but nochannels

[denzilv]

ok tried Commando version 10.. which is what was working on the other box.. still same results... the fast scan finished in 10 seconds.. the brute force ran for 20 mins found 303 transponders and idnt find anything.. is there some setting that im missing? i find it hard to believe that its not working.... if nothing works then the null modem cable it is then.. any suggestions?

is it worth me re-doing the transfer of the magic files again.. chmoding them again before going for the null modem cable as i will have to hook up my ancient system which does have an rs232 port on it?

Of course it is yes ,that's what I would do.just start again and follow tut word for word

ok... reflashed it to a commander 10 image which i know worked on the old box.. transferred the magic files and still the same problem... fast scan finished in 9 seconds finding nothing. brute force ran for 30 minutes and found nothing... where am i going wrong?

your scanning prob has nothing to do whether the magic files are added or not, it's either a signal issue, connectors, faulty cabling etc a hardware prob, weak tuner, faulty box, or your scan settings are wrong.....first try some other img and scan and worry about the magic files to get all channels working once u get a successfull scan......

tried a few images same problem still. Used my mates box here and it works fine. Im convinced that the tuner is at fault. the MAX BER is 262143 and MAX SNR is 50324. SIG is 61816.. i know the SNR should be 55000.. would this indicate a problem with the tuner? im getting the bootlog tomorrow once i connect my old system up.

Is your mates box the same as yours if it is make a copy of his and flash yours with that image ,.if that dontworkyour box could be @@@@@@o

Ber and sig all over the shop
Recheck the connections
Go Direct to the wall
Try crimping the input connections with some long nose pliers

This getting even curious.. new cables and new pins.. tried to start the scan and it says transponder scan failed. Im getting the boot log now.. will post it once i get it.

[denzilv]

its been a while chaps i finally have a system with RS232 yipee... i tried to get a bootlog using the instructions in the PTS1 helpfile under the hardware section. when i look at the bootlog it contains the exact same detail as the bootlog when the VM feed is not connected.. is this how it should be? or is something defintely wrong here?

Post the bootlog.

Hiya mate,

Dunno if you got this sorted but I read through the thread last night as i had the exact same problem.

I was sure my tuner was ~~~~ered as all the BER, SNR and SIG values were everything but what they should have been. Tbh, i'm sure the box is flaky as I've never had this problem with any others before.

I tried shedloads of images including Laky Pro, Petze, SS_Enigma, blade quad etc. - no joy.

My solution was to install Commando 11.3 via IFA and brute force scan. (the normal FTP then service -> upgrade -> flash one partition etc didn't work)

Have you solved this problem yet? Try changing ucode. Or better still, as mentioned earlier try copying your mates image and flashing on your box, if no channels work, it could indicate faulty tuner.
