Have you set your location first before doing a scan?

If your getting free to air channels then you just need to add the magic files. there is a good step by step guide on this forum on how to transfer the magic files............mike

remember the thanks button if i have helped

Hi

If you have set your location and its not finding any channels then try to ftp a services.xml to the image if you have it saved from before or if you post what area maybe someone can help and send it to you.

Is your sig ok.

Regards

Sounds like you may have lost your cable connection or have a tuner failure.

wher you changing the image when it stopped working or did you just turn it on to find it was a black screen?

Hi, try this Work for my box get your remote then press on the dbox button then go to service press on that then go to image upgrade/backup press on that then expert functions then press on backup one partitlon then go to flash without bootloader press that then it will back up your image then a screen will come up saying saved under tmp/mtd3.img then you will have to connect to your box useing a ftp program
When connected to your box go to var/tmp you will see the file you backed up transfer to your pc then rename it then you have your backup on your pc.
DONOT TURN YOUR BOX OFF UNTILL YOU HAVE SAVED YOUR IMAGE TO YOUR PC OR YOU WILL LOSE IT
