I have just bought a dreambox but i am not picking up any channels, when im scanning the BER IS AT 1657765, the manual says it sould be at 0 to 20, then when a valid transponder has been found the SNR is at 0, AGG IS AT 42 AND BER 1657765, its says in the manual to check the lock and sync boxes after this but it doesent allow me, it just goes straight by them, so i just pressed ok to start the scan, im getting numbers comming up on the transponder scan but no numbers are comming up on the services scanned, then when its finished scanning theres no channels, why is the BER so high, that must be the problem why im not getting anything, ive tryed it on both of the cable providers and its just the same, the cable providers are SR6900 and SR6875, Im on v med*ia, can anyone help?

ok m8 i take it it came from someone who lives in the uk?
here? did he say it was plug and play ?
Using your remote, navigate to Menu->Setup->Service Searching->Automatic Transponder Scan->Bruteforce Scan (this assumes you have the bruteforce scan option, this was available on the image I used) The scan starts. After a few minutes you will get a message saying “A valid transponder has been found”. Click on start scan
The bruteforce scan will now search for all available channels. In my case, this went on for about 30 minutes.
When the scan is complete, it gives a list of what services it found. Press ok. That’s it. You should now have all the channels available for your area!

baz think this is wots wrong you should have either 6952 which is v**** media or 6887 which nthell and i suggest you flash it yourself
and if you need to put the keys in
add create a /var/keys and /var/sccs folder and add keys and nagra roms.

You also have to add a cables.xml file to /var/etc for UK scanning (same as dbox).
