    BER is Bit Error Rate. If you have a good signal and the SNR is up above 95% then you won't get BER, this is good.

    If you are getting a good signal but channel is blank, its probably a key issue. Go to sky sports one and reboot the box.

    if chanells disappered all of a sudden and you were not near cables, more than likely the PSU for downconverter died or else the tuner got some sort of spike!
    Try manual scan starting at 218mHZ, going up at 8mHz intervals and see do you get anything!!

    My advise, reflash from scratch and the add roms and au files via ftp, its the only way of knowing you have good image - sounds as if you ~~~~ed up something in the image itself!

    @darren08

    to check if its the antenna take the cable from the dreambox & plug it into the tv then let the tv search for channels you should pickup sky news clear maybe others on the old analog then you will know if its the box or antenna

    I would say its the antenna if you got nothing.

    Check all the cables.
    Make sure you are powering the antenna.
