I'm not sure whether this is a dish, cable, lnb, ABM problem so reaching out to superior experts on this forum.
I configured an OSMINI twin tuner box in my residence as single tuner by just using Tuner A and disabling tuner B. ABM and EPG all successfully setup and working fine from Tuner A.
I then took it to a friends, plugged in and booted up expecting the box to be fully working correctly.
I was presented with some channels that worked but majority not worked. When I went to a non-working channel I would get the error message 'Timeout for tuner lock'.
I checked that both cable and f-connector tightly plugged in and they were. I reran ABM but was still presented with same error. Even running Crossepg produced tuner lock error.
When I looked at channel list the channel entries that didn't work were shaded out, the active ones clearly visible.
So then I decided to run a blind scan on the box and all the 'missing' channels reappeared and were now visible.
I thought that was the answer to my problem but then I reran ABM and had the 'timeout for tuner lock' message appear.
So I am in a position where all channels are listed but ABM not working properly.
Does anyone know why or what is happening as I'm flummoxed. Crossepg didn't work even though I deleted the EPG so switched to Rytec as a temporary measure and that is working using Virgim EPG download.
I am puzzled by all this as I would have expected the box to work successfully from the outset.
Thanks
