Default Error channel not available

Hi I have flashed my dbox with the blade quad image, i replaced an old pacino image, however I never backed up the old image doh! So I have successfully flashed the new image and done a service scan it looks like its found all the channels, but when I click on a channel it isnt available. Am I right in thinking I need new xml and service bouquet files for my area, if so can some one in the south yorkshire area help me out ex tw, now vm, in sheffield. Or is there anything else I should be trying on the box changing ucodes etc or change from evocamd?

This is the first time ive used an image other than pacino so any help appriciated.

Cheers

Try plugging the cable feed directly into the back of your box without any splitters and/or attenuators in line, also make sure your connection to the box is nice and tight especially the central gripper cage. If the gripper is loose get a pair of long nose pliers and tighten it.

As for cams/ucodes the most popular combo around the country seems to be evocam together with 001A although a lot of sagem users need to run gbox to keep the squeeky noises at bay.

Hopefully some nice person will upload services and bouquets for sheffield mate.

Or maybe someone could post the net id settings so that Lee can manually input the numbers in the servicescan menu and then perform a proper scan.

Come on lads !!!
