channels scanning problem

[stickman]

Hi,

I'm using Neutrino in a Nokia Dbox2. I've trying for some time to get channel scanning working, but had no luck so far.

My home setup is kind of weird, but it can't be any other way. Since I live in a very large building I just receive vertical polarity from the Astra 19,2º satellite in order to get all D+ channels.
All my other receivers (humax 5700, nokia 9600 and original D+ Philips DSI-175b) work and do channel scanning, but my dbox2 fails.

The satellites.xml file should have all the needed transponders to find at least some channel, but it doesn't.

Of course, if I use any other channel list, it does work and I can tune them and watch the channels.

Pasted here is a excerpt from my satellites.xml including the Astra 19,2º info:

Hi stickman,

Did you use the original or internal ucode.bin? For scanning you should use the original ucode. If you want to fix the black sceen problem you can rename the ucode.bin after scanning to let the dbox his internal one.

Yours,
Hannes

Well, I don't know if this is the original or internal ucode.bin file. I found a ucode_001a.bin file en /var/tuxbox/ucodes, but I don't know anything about it.

What I can tell is that this receiver when used with a regulat sat setup (antenna + LNB) scans flawlessly, but it fails in my setup.

Where can I get get the original *and* internal ucode.bin? is it a legal download?

Why should this file let my receiver to search for channels?


Thanks,
Stickman
