If you get EPG but no picture the emu is not working.
Restart evocamd or mgacmad or which emu you are using.

There is not much to do.
Install the latest gemini image, connect the box to your router, select DHCP in the network menue and restart the network, install mgcamd and mgcamd config files via blue panel online addon.
Upload keys and rom files to /var/keys, upload the latest irish cables.xml to /var/etc, go to automatic scan and select the provider you want.
Go to the blue panel and select mgcamd as default cam and wait for the autoupdate.

One frequency can transport the digital data for up to 12 or 13 channels.
The demuxer unit of the box has to sort out the digital data packets for the chosen channel.
If other channels at the same frequency are ok maybe there is a technical problem with that 2 channels in your area.
So I should just wait a while and hopefully they will return in few days?
When i press red/blue Setanta 1, 2 and golf are all on the same frequency 363500.00 . 1&golf dont work, 2 works fine. Does that sound right. can they all be the same freqeuncy?
Hi guys, I'm still experienceing the same problem with Setanta, have these channels come back on for anyone?
With the premiership rapidly approaching I need to have Setanta 1 up and running to see the matches!

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of an unusual problem. One of my Nokia D-Boxes seems to have a very weak receiver compared to other boxes and so needs a booster to work.
I got a booster from Argos, plugged it in and it worked perfectly for about 2 days. Then the booster just stopped working, the signal was weaker going through it than without it.
I brought it back and got a replacement one and the exact same thing happened again, it worked for a few days then stopped completely.
I have another booster (a better quality all4one one) This seemed to have stopped working but then worked again yesterday although strangely the min and max power settings seemed to have been reversed, ie turning down the amount of boost improved the signal strength. Now today it has stopped working again completely.
Has anyone any idea what is going wrong here?
Is it possible there is some kind of surge coming along my n*l cable that is wiping out these boosters? If one had broken it might just have been a fault with that unit but 3 in such quick succession seems very odd?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, my Nokia box is useless to me without a booster (SNR is too low to get picture) but I cannot use one at the moment without destroying it!
Thanks in advance,
Robert

It looks like the signal strength is sometimes good via your cable feed and then the booster oversteer the tuner.
Its also possible the minimum amplifying of the booster is too much and you need an adjustable attenuator behind your booster.
Try to set your booster to full gain and adjust the signal strength via an adjustable attenuator behind.
Thanks for the advice, how do I use the attenuator? Do I adjust it so that the SNR is about 60,000 (as good as it gets for me) and BER close to 0 and then leave it? Will it then not let the booster over amplify the signal?
Also what strengh of booster is needed. The cheap ones I have been using from Argos (that keep breaking) are +20db while it seems most of the more expensive ones are only +10db? Should this be sufficient to fix my signal, without booster it is SNR=45-50,000, BER=26,100

Target is a BER around zero.
SNR depends on box and tuner driver version.
You should buy an variable attenuator with 0 to 20db/25db depending at your adjustment.

The 2 channels are where sky movies 9 & 10 used to be. Any service file I have ever posted will have them. I have renamed them on my own and will have the new ones posted shortly, with a lot of extra inactive channels. Some may have wondered why I left all these on, and now you can see why. I reckon they might start doing this more to mess people around, but it also messes paying customers too.
A new version of sportster was released with gbox, I will give that a try too but it is only 2x at the moment.

Check first the numbers for BER. Higher numbers for BER could indicate a problem with the signal strength.
Ok my BER is really high so I need an adjustable attenuator. I tried Maplin at the weekend but they didn't have any.
Anyone know of any websites where I can get one?

They were discontinued on that site but I did get one from here: www.beststuff.co.uk Just hope it does the job.

It depends if your signal is too strong or too weak.
If the signal is too strong you need an attenuator and if too weak an booster.
A variable attenuator is also good to fine-tune one of the cheaper boosters. The gain control is mostly not so good at such devices.
