we would ideally need to know a bit more about your setup, for example.
1. which receiver are you using ?.
2. what exact image and build version are you using ?.
3. how exactly are your tuners setup ?.
also you say ABM has not been working for months yet you chose ABM DVB-C for the title of this support thread, yet we did not release the DVB-C portion of ABM months ago.

You'll need to give more info. What satellite box you got, Image and what build etc.
You have prefixed with dvb-c, but that has not been out long.
Which receiver?
Which image, name and build number?
How many tuners?
What is connected to each tuner?
What is each tuner set as?
What settings have you got for ABM?
hi soory guys i chose the prefix random as i am a newbie and have no idea what it means.
VU DUO
VIX ZEUS
2 TUNERS (STANDARD SETUP) SIMPLE etc.
so the next question would be how do you have ABM setup ?

I presume the manual you are referring to is the one created by my self, which is how all of my receivers are setup and they all work fine with ABM. but if you could we would need to see some screen shots of the exact setup in order to see if there is any thing out of place.

Tuner lock timeout is exactly that. It has timed out while trying to lock on to the frequency that ABM is assigned.
It could be a variety of reasons why this is happening.
Make sure your both your tuners are set to single satellite 28.2, try swapping the feeds over incase its a lnb problem, check your dish is correctly aligned, there have been instances where people's dishes have not been properly aligned and can't lock onto the required frequency.
1. Tuners being set up incorrectly is one possibility. e.g they have a twin tuner module and a single tuner module. This totals three tuners , but person considers this as rtwo becasue there are two tuner cards. This is why I ask some questions which can seem pedantic, but best to clarify instead basing things on assumptions/deductions.
2. One of the feeds into the receiver has an issue and does not tune properly. Best way of trouble shooting this is to not to touch the cabling/feeds. Disable/set as not configured all but one tuner, then perform a scan. For 28.2 you should get over 950 channels. Disable/set as not configured this tuner then enable next one and repeat scan.
This will establish if there is a fault. Next steps will depend on results.
P.S I have changed prefix of your thread.
