Waiting For Time

[davjac]

Hi All,
Turned on my nokia dbox2 yesterday and all I got was "Waiting For Time"
Thought it may be something wrong with the image (even though I have had the same image on it for almost 2 years with no probs at all).
Anyway, flashed a new image to the box and ftp'd the service and bouquet files over but still it said "Waiting For Time".
So I tried scanning for channels using "Brute Force for UK". It started scanning but was not picking up any channels.
The cable connection is fine as I tried another box on it and it worked.
Anyone have any ideas to what may be the cause of this??
Thanks!!

Hi

Did you set your location after flashing new image.

Hi yusuf gaz thanks for your quick reply,
Yes I did that, although I was of the understanding that that would not make any big difference as surely it would still pick up at least some channels.

Hi Twin Town,
No FTA working either. Does not seem to see anything
Yes I put in another dbox2 I got from a friend which has sportster image and everything works fine.
I had Commando 6 on mine then flashed Commando 9 onto it and still the same.

Taken from a different site

If you can, take a normal aerial cable and plug the RF out on the dbox into the aerial socket on your TV.. If you tune in the analog channels on your TV you should get some FTA channels, i.e. bbc, itv, etc. if you don't get any channels the tuner is gubbed!
