I've recently purchased a Nokia DBox and when I perform a scan I can only get 42 channels. I've tried with both Sportster and Commando images and both find the exact same 42 channels, even by doing a brutforce scan. I've also taken the services.xml from a friend who can get all channels but I can still only get the same 42 channels, all of the other channels will give a "Channel Not Found" message when I switch to them.

I have NTL digital at the moment and can receive all of the channels fine on that. I also have Broadband from NTL, since my cable connection is split one for TV one for Broadband I was thinking that maybe the signal strength is being affected and a booster may help, other than that I'd be greatful for any other suggestions.

Hi which area are you in (NTL or Telewest) the bruteforce scan wont make a difference, the telewest scan code is 6952 and ntl 6887 if you are ntl try the telewest one, thats the only one that works for me and im ntl, i found commando 5 to be the most reliable image!
Let me know either way whether you have sorted it or if this info helped.
Thanks
Paul

I managed to resolve the problem in the end. I flashed with Cryo's Sportster Pro 102 Ultra, it has an option to switch to 1.73 mode which I did.

Before that I tried about 10 other images including the Commando 4-6 and the later Sportster images.

Oh okay, I had the 1.73 sportster but it said waiting for time, I actually think that was a problem with the internal tuner though, All the best!
