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

    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.

    1_0_1_189D_7FD_2_11A0000_0_0_0.jpg

    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

    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)
    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.

    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.
