Hello

I'm having problems getting some channels on my dreambox 500c.

I downloaded a gemini 3.0 image with mgcam etc all in.

I did scan and most channels are fine but some, break up. ukgold is one of them.

I have noticed on the channels that break up the 'BER' (what ever that is???) seems to have a high figure in it and is fluctuating. What does the BER mean? Its displayed when i go into information along with SNR and AGC.

Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks

I have the same box with the same image, I too get simlar problems.

Some of which are attributed by dodgy signal strengh for some channels the d500c seems much more sensitive than the dbox2.
