    You could have a well outta date satellite xml file, try updating it

    I very rarely scan the satellites now, just get the latest settings and ftp them to your box or download them from the images addons facility

    Try putting these on with DreamboxEdit

      Thanks for the channel list...I put them on using dreamboxedit...The channels that I can watch are the channels that I pick up with a scan...

      Sky premiere +1 (I can pick this up)

      SNR 81%
      AGC 90%
      BER 0

      Sky action (I cant pick this up)

      SNR 54%
      AGC 83%
      BER 65520

      this is pretty much same for all the channels I cant pick up...Any ideas?

        Think I am running out of fixes

        You could try another scan, if my file has newer transponder settings than what you were using b4 it may pick some up, my list is is a couple of months old so some channels may be on different transponders now, so if you scan then check for duplicates in the All Services List to see if its picked them up

            Just to be sure, this goes in var/etc right?

            I put it in there and did a scan and picked up 60 more services (not sure which ones)...so I guess this made a slight change...

            When I do a scan should I keep no circ polariz. unchecked or shall I check it? I normally do a scan unchecked..

              Im not too sure myself, but if you just look in the settings file I sent you and replace the satellites xml in there with the updated one and then ftp it to the box with Edit it will put it in the correct place, then do a scan

              The newer xml has 62 more transponders

              The newer channels will be flagged after a scan

                When you do a scan check to see if its picking up channels from both horizontal and vertical polarities.

                  I tried your suggestion...I got 42 new channels added...but still no where near all of the channels...

                  It seems to be scanning both horizontal and vertical polarities...

                  But all the channels that I cant receive have a high BER reading and an error saying service could not be found...This is on free channels as well like sky news...


                  Could this problem be to a faulty box/tuner..? The box is about a week old..

                    If you have another receiver handy, hook it up and see if it picks up any of the fta stuff your dream is missing

                      I tried this and well...I picked up sky news and teachers tv...I cant view these on the openmedia box...

                      I checked the signal strength on the fta box (old s*y amstrad box)...The strength bar is 75% full and the sig quality is 50% full...could this have an effect?
