Default Reloading Channels

Hi Guys

My DBOX keeps flashing up saying "reloading channels please wait" this is fine normally but just recently it does the reload then goes back to channel 1 and doesn't display anything. None of the channels display and I have to reboot, which again is fine but when it happens every 5-10mins it gets really annoying.

Any Suggestions ??? Different Image ??? I am running Andromeda 2

Just go in to your service scan options and turn off sections/background scan.

Yes.

Before scanning remember to set your location via the blue button menu then let your box reboot. Go to servicescan menu turn fast scan on and blue to scan.........should take three to four minutes. You then use the bouquet editor to drop your missing channels back into the bouquet of your choice.

Actually I have a question on Locations.............. What would I choose for location. My town isn't listed but a town 2-4 miles away is but says its CW and another town 12 miles away is listed and says its NTL. I know the town Im in was NTL not CW.

OR DOES IT MATTER ????
