    @carloween, I have updated the file on GitHub. Thanks.

    I'll do 40987 once I have a lamedb/5 after an ABM run

    Perform a manual scan, selecting provider. It will take a while.
    Restart
    Transfer your lamedb file from /etc/enigma2 to your PC
    Zip/rar and attach here
    Hey Abu, I noticed you also update the ABM on github. It took me a while to understand how this works and I've been trying to understand why some VM cable channels don't work. I am on 40985 - north London(Finchley) and the ABM fails to tune saying the same thing as the issue in this thread. Can I help you update the ABM github so I can update config file and hopefully manage to tune using my area net id successfully?

    Hi mate, as mentioned, I copied the two lamedb files you need. Many thanks once again for doing this. I really appreciate it.

    lamedb&5.zip

    I have checked with someone in 40985, default values still work. I am certain you are using the wrong NetID. The frequency values in your lamedb file end in .750. This is what you get in CW areas. 40985 is a Telewest area, they have whole numbers in the frequencies.

    Try 41069

    Thanks a lot for checking. I have to say these are the two net ids I've been playing with since I bought the box. 41069 works as well when I scan from tuner but same thing happens when I scan in ABM. some channels are black after ABM scan. Whereas before the ABM scan I can see unnamed channels like BT SPORT 2 HD or MTV HD that work. Any thoughts on that?

    As with 40985 default values work for me too absolutely fine in proportion of 90%. Some might say I am picky but I do use these few channels not working after ABM scan...

    Abu, is it possible for you to update net id 41043 Poole, I believe the frequency has changed to 282750

    41043
    cable modem frequency: 282750

    @adrian_t

    Non-ABM scan does not use NET_ID. You can use any net ID in tuner config and for-non_ABM scan. Unless you are in a pure area, background scanning as well as E2 scans will bring in dead channels intended for other areas.

    If ABM works for you on 40985, and the first five channels in the ABM Cable entertainment bouquet work, then I was mistaken.

    Please answer these specific questions:

    Does ABM work using 40985 and first five channels in Cable entertainment bouquet work?
    Does ABM work using 41069 and first five channels in Cable entertainment bouquet work?

    The answer is No. When I scan ABM with 40985, it says Tune failed, check tuner is configured ...
    Does ABM work using 41069 and first five channels in Cable entertainment bouquet work?
    Yes

    Now I realised I should have provided you with the lamedb files for 41069 not 40985. No?
