I have a sagem 1x box, it came with commando set up for the UK. I am in dublin I tried a scan using UK 6887 and got some transponders but no channels.
I flashed on my own sporster pacino 1.7 1x image which has worked on my other 3 sagem 1x boxes. It came up with an "error no channel found" on all of them. If I check the signal it seems the same as my other boxes, so it is picking up something. Then if I try to scan it picks up transponders but fewer than my other boxes, e.g. "cable dublin" picks up 2, while my other boxes pick up 14. But then it picks up no channels at all.
Is there anything I can try, like different cams or ucodes or something. I have set up 3 sagem 1x and a sagem 2x so far and all are running OK.
I opened the box to see if anything needed reseating (one other box did). It all looks OK inside to me.
It looks like the tuner need a stronger signal.
You can try to unplug the cable to the modem. That will give the tuner a little bit more electrical power.

Yes I had tried that but with no luck. Do you think a booster would help, I will probably get one in argos so I can return it if it doesnt work. Also later that night my own sagem 2x was acting up and not getting epgs and missing some channels, so maybe my house has a weak signal. I just thought this strange since I would expect some channels even if it was weak, i.e. weak jittery channels coming in, once it has the service files etc.
My other boxes are all fine now but this one is still doesnt work at all

Every splitter decrease the signal strength.
Yeah I tried it in others, and tried unplugging the other TVs in the house etc. My dbox in my room only had a strength of 20000 this morning but was working fine. Downstairs (where I usually test it) it has a sig of 26000, my 2x box can have up to 32000
I will take it up the road to another house and try it later. If I still have no luck I will get a booster and give it a go.
