    Re: Channel not available and freezing

    Soz my bad type error.
    To remove the modem take the lid off then on the silver backplate
    loosen the screw which holds the tuner to the back plate
    a couple of turns will do.
    Then unscrew the modem from the backplate
    now pull the back plate towards you gently
    now the modem just pulls out like a pc card.
    reboot see if you get the missing channels you might have to do a scan.
    If you dont press red then blue button on a working channel and post the
    ber,snr and sig readings approx will do.

    You could try new ucodes, check out which one you are using and eiter change it or load in new ones, some boxes I have done run smoothly with 0001a and other I use 00014, its a bit trial and error so play about with both.

    thanks for providing a good informative post,

    couple of things to try

    cut out the splitter and booster,

    try a direct connection to your incoming feed

    also lose the stb to see if your feed is good

    To get rid of the green lines press
    dbox,settings,video then change format then back to what it was.

    Re: Channel not available and freezing

    If your signal is too high, you can get just as much problems as if your signal is too low.

    I think your might be just on the high side. Maybe try an in-line attenuator. I think B&Q do them for a quid. You'll definately get them in Maplin...they're not expensive and it's easy to try.

    Cheers, that sounds like a cheap solution, even if it doesn't work its only a quid..

    Stick box :(

    Hi guys,

    I recently got a nokia dbox2 and I am having one problem with it, which is quite annoying.

    A couple of times a day, my box kind of freezes/sticks to one channel. I can watch the picture fine and audio is there but basically when I press a button on the remote nothing happens, the led does flash on the box so I know it is receiving the command. The channel doesn't change or the menu doesn't come up at all. So, basically need to unplug the box then it works and I can change channels and look at menus.

    Also, went up to the box and tried the manual pressing on the box and that doesn't work either. So, makes me think the remote is fine but something else isn't.

    Has anyone heard or had this problem before, is there a solution?

    Thank you!
