I have read that some cable boxes can be manually fine tuned to a better frequency. Can Dbox be tuned in this way, and if so how?
All my channels are pretty good - except for Setanta Sports 1 which judders constantly. Any suggestions? I have a recent Blade image and I have scanned within the last few days. Can't understand why just 1 channel should be affected?

You could try turning off SPTS mode and/or changing the ucode

Thanks for your input Lincsat.

As a follow up, I tried Blade final with all cams and ucode combinations, the results were all pretty equal and with Setanta sports still chirping.
Today I flashed Commando 8.2 - success! Picture perfect! I have a Nokia 2x Dbox and would recommend the Commando image to anyone with a similar problem to mine.

hi does this work because ive got a sagem 1x box and it sounds like a budgie on some channels and ive tried loads of combinations of ucodes and cams.

Well it worked for me although I have moved on to the superb V++ (Virgin Media) image. The best by a mile (for me anyway).
