How to setup Cable?

[imish]

OK - Got it working - The Virgin Cable was NOT live - the engineer had disconnected the splitter.

That screenshot is running ABM, it is not a conventional scan/tuning cable. ABM must be provided with your NetID (unless in a pure area, although this still needs parameters set).

What scan settings are you using, the earlier screenshot was that of your tuner config.

Think you are spot on here - need some help in getting the channels tuned.

Using ABM, I see the channels listed however when I select them this is what I see.

Why are you using ABM if you do not know your NetID? You could try regions you think are yours until you get the right one.

Perform a conventional/manual scan, that way you will get working as well as non-working channels.

Ok.

This is what I see when trying to do a manual scan.

And then this error message.

Tuner is set to this setting.

didn't realise what a challenge this was going to be just to get this set up

Here is a list of most of the net ID's so try the nearest one to where you live -- sorry loaded the wrong ones try these settings and try the UK Area till you find one nearest to where you live mine is 00010 Teesside

Post a screenshot of your tuner config as it is.

To take screenshot paste the following address in your browser (after changing x to make IP address of receiver)

http://192.168.x.xx/grab?format=jpg
or
http://192.168.x.xx/grab?format=jpg&mode=osd

Change to attached (Don't forget to press green to save)

Thanks - did a complete scan successfully and got some of the channels working.

I had to specify the provider under the tuner settings in order to get it to work.

Now using the NETID I will see if I can get ABM to work.

Now got ABM working using a NETID closest to me. The trick was the setting in post 22; that made all the difference.

non of the FTA HD channels works - which is a tad strange. The FTA SD channels work fine.

Thanks to all for your help.

Impressed with the Miracle Box - it seems quicker than my VU Solo2 - couple of other gremlins for which i will start separate threads.

There are no FTA HD channels on UK cable, this is why none are there.

ABM does not use the scan settings in post 22. It interacts with the tuner directly.

If you want, you can asssist with getting HD channels using ABM on Terrestrial.

Hi everyone

ive the read the post and i myself cannot get a fix. i have tried the autobouqetmaker (abm) to virgin uk seven kings 41050 and hit scan. says tuner lock.
i checked tuner config for dvb-c tuner and its set to provider virgin media 6952. when i scan in abm i dont anything. the receiver and cable feed works on another receiver.

Common errors/issues are:

More than one tuner cnfugure, but only one has a signal cable
Wrong Net ID
Faulty splitters/cabling/connnections
Poor signal
Receiver wired wrongly

You are meant to attach debug logs for ABM issues. We don't even know what receiver you are uisng.
