    problem with cable tuners can somebody help please

    Bought a couple of cable tuners a couple of months ago for my box.

    I have only just got around to fitting them today but the problem is they won't scan any channels in.

    I have setup how I think is correct but still no joy

    I have a dreambox running with a cable tuner and that works fine so I'm not sure where to start

    I have used the line I know works but the venton still won't find anything

    Anybody have any info or help

    Thanks

    Thanks I'm not wanting to discuss anything forbidden on the forum

    What I nearly mean is I am using cables tuners in my receiver but I can't get them to scan any channels whatsoever
    the cable line itself is good and live as I have a different receiver with a cable tuner that can scan the channels in no problem

    I just need help as to if the tuners I have could be faulty

    As far as I am aware swapping the tuners over then configuring the tuners in the service menu is all that's needed along with your provider and net id which I have input correctly

    I have tried a cables.xml fine I know to work for me but again it doesn't want to find anything no fta or anything

    Thanks

    What have you set your tuners as? Are you sure splitter is not faulty?

    Tuners are setup as dvbc in the menu
    I have taken the splitter out of the equasion by connecting directly to the box on the wall with a short cable
    just to eliminate that as a cause

    Likely hood of both tuners being at fault is low. WHile testing remove one of them and test one at a time. Try using ABM with one tuner connected.

    That's exactly my thinking as well would be very unlucky to have 2 not work

    Autobouquet makers fails when I try it
    I wasn't sure if it would work without any channels scanned as I was under the impression it needed to be tuned to a channel to work

    ABM does not pre-existing chanenls. Autobouquets does.

    What does it fail on?

    Can you confirm only one tuner card is connected in receiver?

    You can take screen shots by pasting this in browser. Change x to make correct IP address
