    Lets forget scanning for now. Use bouquets from your other box onto the Venton.

    Use Dreamset/Dreambox edit

    Receive files from receiver that has them. Save to PC.

    Alternate Dreamset config to use Venton
    Send settings to Venton.

    YOu will now have excatly same chanenl deatils on both receivers

    then I suppose if that doesn't work then the tuners must be faulty?

    Sorry, but they're not screenshots, screengrabs of screenshots & just as impossible to read as your previous camera ones.
    Save the image created & upload those when asked for screenshots.
    Makes reading settings a lot easier, saves you typing out every line & saves anyone trying to help having to guess what you might have set.

    Sorry only had my phone handy

    I've transferred the bouquets across from the working receiver but it just shows 0 signal and nothing on screen

    I can only assume these both must be bad as I have now tried both tuners one at a time phisically taking the other one out of the receiver

    The DM has an f connector, the Venton have a push connector (belling lee). How are you converting? Can you post a picture please?

    I have a f connecter adaptor
    its basically the f connector screw with a plug the other side instead of the f plug
    but I also have a fly lead as well

    Just a quick update
    I have spoken to ththsponser over the phone
    who has advised to test using a tv aerial first as that will obviously rule out if the tuners are faulty

    I must say cannot fault them for the response and speedy email reply.

    Just a quicky, did you set to scan Virgin Media AND your net id in ABM?
    You really shouldn't need to manually or automatically scan for channels, ABM if configured correctly is all you will need, also make sure you don't have sections hidden in ABM.

    Quick update

    Received new tuners and all setup and working (except for recording issue)

    I think the problem was to do with the tuners I had having dip switches on them

    Anyway sponser quickly sorted and I can't say fairer than that
