Missing Sky Sports 1 2 and 3 on Dreambox DM500C

[cobwebbyian]

Hi Guys I recently bought a dreambox DM500c with all relevant keys already on, set up and did a bruteforce uk scan and it picked up all the sky movie channels but no sky sports 1 2 or 3, I have got it hooked up with the yellow signal booster and all the movie channels are there with between 93 and 95% signal but no sports channels.

Any ideas on how i can find them.

Thanks

Hi I live in manchester, got the sky movie channels - I would of thought if they were there the sports would be to is that incorrect then.

You get the movie channels in analogue but not sports or sky1.
Which image are you using? Try the dk1.1 image if not already using and try a bruteforce scan with it

Hi, Im using that image and i've checked on the virgin media website and I do live in a analogue area - I guess I will just have to hope they upgrade the area to digital eventually.

Cheers
