[QUOTE="mhku, post: 139644, member: 190842"] [b]My System: [/b] Dreambox 500s, Moteck SG2100 [b]Problem:[/b] After flashing my Dreambox with a new image I had no satellites or channels. [b]Answer:[/b] I needed to find and store all the motor positions for each satellite, and then to rescan the transponders on each satellite. I read the various guides mentioned in the Idiot's Guide but was still a bit confused as to how to do it (and this is after having successfully done it 6 months ago). So I wrote down how I did it in case I need to repeat the process in the future. [b]HOW:[/b] 1. Go to Expert Setup (button 6) > Motor Setup. 2. Select the "drive to zero" option from the Mode dropdown list and select "go". 3. Select "postion" from the Mode dropdown list. 4. Select "Atlantic Bird 3/ 5W" from the Satellite dropdown list. 5. Select a strong transponder from the Transponder dropdown list e.g. for 5W I chose 12543. 6. Now click the left Direction arrow to turn the dish 1 "click" west. Repeat this until the SNR/ AGC levels begin to rise. Once the "Lock" and "sync" checkboxes become ticked, click east or west direction arrows until the maximum SNR/ AGC and zero BER levels are achieved. [img]http://www.klona.4t.com/v3.1/images/dreambox/Sat_signal.gif[/img] 7. Now click "store". On the next page enter a sensible number e.g. for 5W I entered 5, and then click "save". 8. Now you are ready to scan the satellite for channels. Click "Search" and on the next page select "5W" from the list of satellites, and then click search. When the satellite is locked and synced click you will see a message "A valid transponder has been found. Verify that the right network is selected". Now click "search" to scan all the transponders on that satellite (this will take a few minutes, depending on the satellite). [img]http://www.klona.4t.com/v3.1/images/dreambox/Scan.gif[/img] When finished you will be shown a list of number of transponders and services scanned. Repeat for each satellite you want to scan. Test by going to TV Mode (1) and selecting a channel. [b]Big thanks to these sources of information:[/b] http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?p=274393 http://www.klona.4t.com/v3.1/guide_eng/dbox-howto.htm and [/QUOTE]
