ITV London HD shows Tune Failed

[abu baniaz]

And getting you to identify your tuners is yet another complication.

I've only got 1 dish going into my box. Another dish goes into another box.

Is the service info correct for the number I gave you? Any idea what I should do to get a picture on ITV London HD?

Should I just do an Automatic Scan in Setup > Tuners & Scanning > Automatic Scan?

There are some strange parameters in the tuning setup for ITVHD (t2mi_plp_id -1 t2mi_pid 4096) which I don't recognise from my own motorised setup. My setup uses a standard universal LNB, so the additional parameters may be for unicable or whatever. Maybe the lamedb is corrupt in some way? abu will know. Why is your logfile full of "###############"'s? Strikes me as something more serious wrong with the box. Logfile is almost 2,500 pages

Remove your 28.2 services. And then restart. See thread on how to do that.

Using the exact same tuner you are getting the problem, perform a manual scan of 28.2 Single satellite, do not enable network scan.

Report back with how many services you get.

And getting you to identify your tuners is yet another complication.

What would you like to know? I have 2 sat cables from a standard LNB going into Tuner A both ports. One cable from a standard LNB is going into the bottom port of Tuner B. Here's my tuner config:

You have screwed up the tuner configuration. It should not be connected.

If you have wires in A&B only. How are tuners in the second module/card going to get signal.



Get someone with a tablet/smartphone to take a picture like asked last month.

[SkyFan]

I don't have access to a cameraphone nor does anybody in my house have a cameraphone. I don't understand why you need a photo when I've already said where the sat cables are connected to?:

I have 2 sat cables from a standard LNB going into twin Tuner A. The back of the box says "Tuner A".

One cable from a standard LNB is going into the bottom port of Twin Tuner B. The back of the box says "Tuner B". A photo isn't going to show anything different to what I said.

I'll try the other things you said later on as I'm recording at the moment.

[abu baniaz]

The letters you are using atre wrong. Use the correct letters. Why have you set tuner I as configured when it does not have a signal wire?

You need to show the actual tuner setup, not the screen before it. Go into the tuner setting to take a screenshot. Stop wasting YOUR time.

It is no longer necessary. You started this thing several weeks ago and we have finally sussed out what you mean. From now on, please use the correct tuner letters.

You dont need to any more. The problem is you told the box tuner I has signal when it doesnt. It should be disabled or set as "loop through"

If any of your tuners are in advanced mode, you are going to keep getting errors. This is why we wanted you to get screenshots of the actual tuner configuration.

Last week, in 2 separate threads, you said "I've got 4 cables going into 2 twin FBC tuners. Connected to standard LNB."

Make sure you describe precisely what you're doing, and follow abu's advice to the letter, otherwise everyone will be going round in circles.

[abu baniaz]

Can you try setting A, B, and J (based on the current description) as:
simple, single, 28.2

Do not use "Equal to"

Thanks. I've done that then I restarted my box. Got a very strange problem now. I'm only recording 3 channels at once: Sky News, RT HD, and BBC One Scotland HD. It won't let me record ITV or Drama in addition but it WILL let me record an extra 4 other channels at once: BBC Four HD, BBC Two HD, Channel 4 HD and Channel 5 HD which are all on different transponders as well as 4 radio stations at once! Any idea why? These FBC tuners seem to have a mind of their own. When I had 4 cables connected, I never had this issue. But when you remove one cable they seem to be very particular about which of the tuner slots can record a certain channel.

[abu baniaz]

Without you saying which transponders you are trying to access simultaneously, not possible to say. Just saying the names is not very useful.

[abu baniaz]

Just to clarify, are the leaf tuners set to FBC Automatic?

[abu baniaz]

Tuner slots do not matter.

You currently have three physical tuner connections with signal. You need to refer to these, not the slots. They must be configured to match what is attached to them.
