    Question Need Some Help Tuning Please

    Started to use my HD2400 (upgraded to Hades) since my Sky service has now come to an end. The Sky card has been transferred to the HD2400.

    I have 3 tuners; 2 x DVB-S and 1 x DVB-T2/C (hybrid). 2 feeds from the dish go to the inputs of the DVB-S tuners and my freeview aerial goes into the input of the hybrid tuner.

    All I want is to use the Sky channels in the main, with the gaps filled by Freeview - channels such as Dave.

    I ran ABM with (what I think) are the correct settings, Dover is my nearest TV mast - it finds the Sky channels fine and they work, but the Freeview ones don't work. It lists them, but I get Tune Failed when trying to use them. Have I missed something?

    Make sure you use Dover Custom in the Providers I have mine set to East Midlands Custom with Freesat UK set to no, try that mine works good with those settings.

    I see the 'Custom' setting under the Sky UK Area, but this is more of a Freeview issue, its tuning of Freeview where I seem to have a problem. Dave isn't available on Freesat or Sky (Freesat). My Sky channels look fine.

    Can you perform a manual scan, I.e do not use ABM. Set your location as Europe in tuner configuration. Does Dave work then?

    Are other TVs in the house able to receive Dave?

    Can you enter your postcode on this website and verify your nearest mast.

    I'd tested the aerial beforehand using the TV's inbuilt tuner and it picked up all channels with no issues.

    Just ran a manual scan with these settings and it's worked. Dave & Dave ja vu working.

    So, will I need to edit the bouquet myself to get the best of both worlds?

    Is there a way to combine the channels to make a unique list?

    Can you tune to the following Terrestrial channels ( BBC One, Chanenl 4, BBC One HD, Dave, and 4seven HD) and provide screenshots as I have attached. To get the screen, press Menu > Information > Service > Yellow (Multiplex). A guide to obtaining screenshots is included in my signature.

    It hasn't picked up any HD channels from Freeview for some reason. Here's the screens from the other 3 . . .

    1. can you transfer the attached file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

    Run ABM again and check that the chanenls in the Freeview bouquets work.

    2. Reason why your scan did not find any T2 services, is that the scan syetem mode is defaulted to T only. Change it to T2, your HD services should be on chanenl 53. Do a manual scan and check that you have HD Terrestrial chanenls.

    Sorry, uploaded wrong file. Please try this one. I have removed the names and replaced with channels that you should be receiviing in your area. Please go through them systematically and see if you have any luck.

    If you were able to manually scan the HD channels, please see this thread http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...input-required

    Still the same, Timeout For Tuner Lock. No bouquets are generated.

    They generate with the default xml file, but all Freeview channels say Tune Failed. No HD channels are picked up either. A manual scan of CH53 shows Freeview HD channels.

    Sky UK channels all seem fine.

    If I press Satellites and pick Terrestrial, the channels all work, but ABM isn't doing it's thing.
