Someone mentioned to me that I may need to edit something for these channels in Dreamup??
I get that "SID not found in PAT" msg for some channels, one's that don't broadcast 24/7,...go your basicaly sorted now ?

I was until about half an hour ago.

I was watching a movie and the picture froze for a few minutes, changed channel and no picture displayed.

Restarted, rebooted, powered off and left off for ten minutes.

No channels working now - restarted the CCcam, Satfinder is fine, nothing changed in Tuner config

I'm getting errors like - 'Service unavailable. Check Tuner configuration'

No EPG data is displayed when I try and open a channel.

The same thing happened last Wednesday evening too.

if your on a share press the blue button & check the ecm time at the bottom, the lower the better, then press yellow then 1 & go down to servers & press OK you will see if the servers are online or not,..although your dish might be slighty loose & shifting in the wind..

I checked that and there was a message 'No ECM info available'

I checked Satfinder and levels were up in the 90% ballpark

I tried a re-scan and now no channels are being found

I'm tearing my hair out!!

have you removed the tuner & re-fitted it firmly, some found that did the trick for them.

Thats probably the last resort - when I reseat the Tuner - is it simply connected with a male/female connection or is it welded?

the tuner module is solderd onto a small PCB which slots into the main board, you said other boxes work on the same dish ?

Other boxes work fine on the same dish.

Forgive the stupid question, but if the Tuner is welded - how do I remove?

the bottom pic above shows the gold fingers which slot in the main board, I was just reading here it could be an over heating problem.

I have the cover removed and unscrewed the screw from the back of the tuner, but I dont want to force it out.

Looking out the back right of the box with the two tuner parts (input & output) on the top right - which side do I apply pressure to, to remove it?

The problem was I hadn't removed the back plate.

I was still able to unseat and reseat enough

Powered it back on and a scan found all channels and it seems to be working fine now - fingers crossed

Thanks for all the assistance

I'm 99% sure it is - just need to figure out how to get the box to recognise it and then how to setup recording etc

Box working fine now since I reseated the tuner - cheers.

Only problem is that the scan hasn't picked up any HD channels apart from BBC, Lux & Rush.

Is there anyway to manually get these or specify a particular frequency range??

The 3 channels you mentioned are freeview,...does the scan pickup the names of the other HD channels but just displays a blank screen when you try to watch them ? if so that would point to your cardsharing setup not giving access to the HD subscription channels,...OR does the scan pickup nothing at all about the other HD channels ?....when using dreambox edit I notice that the HD channels are seen as DATA & not regular TV channels.

Scan doesn't pick them up at all - the auto scan picks up about 1100/1200 channels but none of the other HD channels for some reason.

So in my HD Bouquet the only channels are the I mentioned, but also if I go through the entire channel list, they're not there either

if you still have the channels file I sent you could try that
