hi guys heres the deal:

i bought a dbox in debug mode with the sportster image on it (plug and play apparently).

so i hook it up to my cable connection and perform a service scan on both sym6887 and 6592 but only pick up one transponder.

when the scan finishes i dont have any channels, there is an error message "waiting for time".

whats going on ?

should i load up a different image and give it a go ??
is the signal strength strong enough to be detected ??

have read the newbies guide but doesnt address the problem so thought i would ask you guys and gals for any ideas.

i live in the oxfordshire area if it makes any differences, cant seem to find an xml file

cheers

How did you get it to work. I have the same problem with 6887. I get 1 transponder on a nokia 2cpu box, but not getting any channels.

Gibb. If you are on sportster, try re-setting the cam.

sportster Sometime the Cam has to be restarted. I use evocamd and its good as gold. Try remote button blue, blue, emu selection, then evocamd.
After that do a scan, if nothing on 6887 try the other. I know its the telewest but mine is ntl and it picks up more on the telewest i think its 6952.
It will find channels, if after you have found channels it comes up with *waiting for time* then an error screen comes up with channel not available, your box has a fault and contact the guy you got it from.
Let me know how you go on mate.
Hope it works for you PAL.
