Question Waiting for time error

Well my cousins wanted me to "fix" their Nokia dbox 2 for them. I flashed the lates Laky Stylas 2x image(I checked it is 2x) and the latest nagrarom7 onto their box, but when I put it back in(first channel was sky 1(I think) instead of showing what was on, it said "waiting for time" On the box, it said 11:00 and didn't change even after 10 minutes. I tried to look if I could change the time on the box, but I couldn't find it. Did I do something wrong or do they actually have to wait for 11:00 in the morning?

EDIT: I read on other forums and other places to try flashing a new image(will try this) and if not its a soldering job(well my soldering skills aren't so good) Does anyone know of anyone who will be able to do a soldering job and how much for?

EDIT 2: Before I flashed it to a new image, the Dbox 2 worked fine(just said channels unavailable) It did not display the "waiting for time" message

are you sure your feed is live and have you double checked all the conections if so try changing ucodes if its on 001A try 0014 it should be in the blue button menu/extra menu/ucode/selection.

How would I check if the feed is live? Would that mean just putting the virgin media aerial in?

thats ok you feed is live then check your ucode and also move your dbox to as close to the main input as you can without any splitters .

Our box(I tried the dbox in my house and naturally I put it as close as I could get to the extension cable) is very close to the mains. I will try txting my cousin how to ucode now(BTW what is a live feed? Is it a subscribed feed from VM?)

EDIT: Do I just re-scan. I was an idiot last time and they wanted it done really quickly, so I didn't save their zapit list. If I re-scanned, would that set the location?
