    Channel not available and freezing

    hi
    Can Someone please help.
    Got dbox about 2 months ago.
    it was working fine at first.
    then n*l moved channels so i had to rescan.
    since then these channels are freezing.
    got another 2 boxes and tried these one is ok but the other is the same.
    They are all sagem boxes running pachino 2.1.
    the only differance is the one that works has Avia 500.

    Try changing the other two to run with the Avia500 drivers then. If they are Sagems, they should all have Avia600 chips.

    "Channels Error"

    Have been using Pacino V2.1 on Nokia box.

    I have had no problems with it for the past two months (i have had to use a slx booster).

    Yesterday brother asked me to flash a box for him which I did, his worked he took it away.

    I plugged mine back in and all I get on each channel now is "channel error"

    I have done a service scan it picks up 303 transponders.

    Have tried three images Pacino, Pacino V2.1 and Commando 3.

    This is really ticking me off now.

    Any ideas guys?

    Unhappy Channel not available and freezing please post here

    Hiya thanks for looking at my post and hopefully someone could really help me out..many thanks in advanced.
    Basically brought a dbox2 (sagem) with a uk image already installed. Tried to servicescan with the cable provider bruteforce and it has pick up 303 channels. But when i went to view channels i get an error message saying 'Error channel not available'. It does show the correct time on the screen and also a message saying waiting for EPG' . I then done another servicescan with CableUK Sym6952 & CableUK Sym6887 and again they pick up channels but error message is the same which is error channel not available.
    I have NTL as my provider and living in essex area.


    Many Thanks

    Dev

    Re: Error channel not available

    you didn't say what image
    you need to swap ucodes
    normally
    blue
    blue
    system
    hardware
    ucodes
    if your using 001a then try 0014 or visa versa.

    Re: Error channel not available

    CableUK Sym6887 is for N*L and CableUK Sym6952 is for TW so if you're scanning again, just use the 6887 option, it will be a lot quicker.

    First of all, do you get any channels clearing at all? BBC, ITV, any fta channels?

    Also check your signal levels, RED > BLUE. The SNR value should be above 55,000 and needs to be about 62,000 before you'll get all the channels clearly.

    If it's low, remove any splitters and attenuators from the line and connect the box directly onto the main feed...and check the signals again.

    Re: Error channel not available

    Neutrino Sysinfo 1.64 on a sagem box with a main feed from the NTL cable.
    The ucodes was 001a and I changed to 0014 and then did a full system scan and no luck
    But the signal levels are showing a level around 23, 000 and the signal isn't going any higher. I would say that I have about a 7 meter cable from the NTL box outside my house into my bedroom, so not sure if cable is struggling with the signal. Also the dbox takes about 20 mins before the real time appears so not sure if that is a problem with the cable.
    But I don't have any problems watching the original ntl box in my bedroom. It isn't the original cable as I originally had the box in my living room and I brought this cable from maplin and install the cable myself.
    What I can do is get a shorter NTL cable and run it from the outside mains into my living room and see what that does?
    So any other suggestions apart from that?

    Many Thanks
