Default Initial setup HELP pls!!!

Hi All,

Just got my dreambox 500c and having a few @ahem@ teething problems!!

Um I have tried doing a auto scan and recieve nothing on the 2 available transponders in the drop down list:
All (SR6875)
ALL (SR6900)

I have also tried doing a manual scan on 6887 whivh i believe is the n*l requency but again nothing

Am i missing something glaringly obvious here?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Regards karts
