Hybrid Tuner Cable settings, NetID, Network ID

[blackhawkcrow]

Just setting up my new mini combo, Satellite side all fine but struggling with the cable side !!! not sure if I've even selected the right tuner settings , could do with some serious help !!! is there a standard setting ???

Total Newbie !!!! :o

[bassethound]

use the settings below to scan the cable network no need to add net id or anything else

[narsytojas]

here you go
that should get you going
most of the time you just need NetID for example 41050

[blackhawkcrow]

Thanks bassethound & Narsytojas , duplicated all the settings in your post !! tried a scan 4 times , but didn't find anything !!!! set provider area correctly !! I'm totally at a loss!! Am I correct in saying "if you have a broadband connection you will receive a signal " as the only other thing I could think of is, I'm not receiving a signal. :confused::confused:

[bassethound]

are you using a splitter or connecting directly to a cable feed and are you connecting to the correct cable socket on the box you will need a F Type Screw Connector Socket to RF Coax Aerial Male Adapter to do this

[blackhawkcrow]

I have tried with the splitter in situ and tried the cable direct into the receiver , but nothing either way !!! I'm using the above fitting screwed into the F connector

[timofee]

Do you know if your cable line in live. Do you have broadband or TV at the moment?

If is it an old connection to the house it may have been disconnected.

[blackhawkcrow]

Cable line is live as we have broadband /TV package , we havent used the TV side for about 5 years as we have always had SKY !! So the cable is live

[bassethound]

not much left to check now lol

i would try and see if the tuners are seated correctly and you are connecting to the right input i helped someone on another forum and the input/loop through were incorrectly labeled on the miraclebox

[Alanp]

Do you still have a virgin TV box if so try that see if you get a picture on FTA, If your signal is too strong this can give issues i needed to fit a 10db attenuator inline with my tuner to get it to work good luck

[blackhawkcrow]

No longer have the Virgin box , it was so painfully slow my Daughter whinged so much !!! I wonder if what you say about signal strength could be a cause !! we are right on a main road , so a very short run to our house.

Not to confident with opening the box up !!! Thankfully Maxwell is coming over Saturday so if I'm still having problems he'll take a Hammer to the insides of it! !!!!!!!:D:D

[bassethound]

like i said someone with a Miraclebox Premium Mini HD had the same problem with the cable tuner sockets on there box being missed labeled

[blackhawkcrow]

Do I need to open the box to check this ???

[Sicilian]

On MB Mini you can not go wrong. Cable feed input is Female RF in.

[blackhawkcrow]

Cable in correct!!

[blackhawkcrow]

Going to try an Attenuator see if that work's !!!

[timofee]

Another idea/check. In the first reply it showed you the scan parameters for 6952.

Did you try the other option which is 6887 - then do the complete scan.

I suspect you already tried this, but just in case.

Haven't tried the other parameter !! will give it a try tonight , Many Thanks

[Sicilian]

Why dont you try Autobouquetsmaker?

[blackhawkcrow]

Why dont you try Autobouquetsmaker?

Have tried with Autobouquetsmaker but I just get a time out type error ( not totally sure of the wording on the error )

[Sicilian]

Try connecting the tuner to your aerial and set to DVB-T2, set your area or European frequencies.. Run a manual scan. Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan > Set 'Type of Scan' to Complete. Network search to 'Yes'.

Connected to normal aerial and found 135 channels so I guess that means the tuner is working!!

Visited today and all channels for DVB successfully downloaded :thumbsup: however there is still an issue with ABM and tuner lock for tuner B so have generated a possible bug report

Thanks mate, all I needed was an expert [emoji106]

[likeylikey]

are these network id and frequencies still correct?
thanks

[chokedup]

i had same issue on miraclebox, my area net id was not listed in abm, i used bruteforce option and it took 15 minutes to scan 410 channels and they work fine,
also make sure you have right soft cam plugin ticked and enabled. Only the channels are in no order.

Would you mind describing the bruteforce option? I've been sitting on my TM Nano SE Combo since I purchased it because I cannot get it to tune into any channels. I have used what I thought to be the correct Net ID and still nothing. I've kinda been dreading raising a new post to request help, however any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[judge]

I've kinda been dreading raising a new post to request help, however any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Why are you dreading it? If you have a non functioning box that can't be fixed/found by using the search option, open a new thread with as much detail on the box used, image used, build used & issue you have.
The more info you provide, the better.
Also, easier for others to point to a fix than guess possible issues.

i used brutre force option like this
tuner setting > dvb-c > enter network id (Mine is 41047) and provider to scan virgmedia 6952. Then do the scan, be patient as it takes 25 minutes appx.

Your Net ID cannot be 41047. It does not exist anymore! The old Wembley area was migrated to 41069 I believe.

If it does, please show us a picture of your offcial receiver showing this in the Engineers menu.

[romdut]

Can anyone confirm the teesside ID is correct still? This list is over 2 years old
Thanks

[abu baniaz]

For UK cable, in manual scan, you can use any net ID.

Pure areas only have their own area channels so all channels you scan will work.
When you scna other reas, yo will get working and non-working channels. You only need NET ID when using ABM or Autobouquets Cable. AB cable does not need net ID for Pure areas though.

If it works with the details you are using, it is correct.

Does anyone know net id for south London been trying to setup cable on my duo2 for an hour only not getting any channels when I search thanks in advance HELPPP

With the absence of commas and full stops, I read your post as:

been trying to setup cable on my duo2 for an hour.
only not getting any channels when I search.
thanks in advance.
HELPPP!

Line 3 does not make any sense properly. I am dropping the "only" to make sense of what you are saying.
For the UK, you can use any Net ID or even 00000 in the tuner configuration/scanning. If it does not work, you have a signal/wiring/splitter problem. ABM will need to correct NetID.

Is your official box working fine? Try using the exact same wire.
Most definite way to confirm NetID is to check engineers menu on offcial box.
