************* UPDATE - I have now purchased a new box and found that the problem was not with the instructions but with a faulty box, got the new box up and working within 40 minutes ****************************
Hi, I appreciate all your hard work in putting this guide together and many thanks for all your hard work, but even when following the instructions sometimes things come up that are difficult to get past without a little help, my first problem was that after re-flashing the box I found the screen was black, now I realise that it was obviously wrong but at the time I didn’t know until I re-flashed the box again that there would be a screensaver image.
Okay Ive stared again from scratch for a third time and I still getting the same problem everytime,
Everything has gone fine until How to add Setanta HD & Premier Sports HD to your channel list
Tried ‘HD Channels’ first and Setanta HD is not there the last one is called 6945, tried ‘Last Scanned’ next and definately no Setanta HD in there either, so I chose Setanta 1 pressed ok to view it and got tune failed, now all FTA and paid channels show Tune Failed,
Restarted box and now showing BBC 1 but all paid for channels show Tune Failed.
************************************************************************
This is how I followed and found the guide:
Setting USB Stick – worked perfectly
Flashing the zGemma – worked perfectly
Entering your ‘line’ to decode the channels – easy to do
Now ready to scan channels – how many feeds does your box have? – Only one tuner so ignored this
Now do the scan for your channels – worked perfectly
Now sort out EPG – worked perfectly
** How to add Setanta Sports HD and Premier Sports HD to your channel list – Couldn’t find either channel in ‘last scanned’ or HD channels’ did find Setanta 1 so tried to add that but got' Tune Failed' Message **
Now if you don’t like dark boot image by sucmnsee – Ignored step
Change info bar settings – worked perfectly
* Fraggle sky skin settings that aren’t quite right – Didn’t understand this step and if its required? so didn't do this *
You still hate the fraggle sky skin and want to try the Blue HD one – Ignored this step
Having problems getting channels? Check what your sat signal is like – Showing excellent signal
Stop hard drive spinning when not in use – easy to do and worked perfectly
Making an image backup – worked exactly as in guide
Backing up settings – worked perfectly
If you wish to use timeshift, you may wish to try the following – don't think its relevant to my box so didn't do this
**********************************************************************************
also been told by my provider to start MGcamd 1.38 in Softcams - haven't done this yet
So where I'm at now is:
Switch on and BBC 1 works fine , change channel through EPG (which have no programme listings in schedule apart from FTA channels) to any other and I get the 'Tune Failed' message, cannot tune back into BBC 1
cannot find the Setanta HD and Premier Sports HD channels in list.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I seem to have been doing the same thing for 8 hours with no luck.
