**ade1970** · 23-10-2009, 02:41 PM

love the azbox, warts 'n all...only using old trex on it for digitv and lots of feeds and fta, plus the media streaming side awesome (except the photos due to size restraints over 1.3mb)...anyhow...now also got dvb-c tuner and trying to load channel list...has options for germany, brasil and standard and man/auto search and network-normal or nit?...have tried all of these..not getting anywhere...can anyone help how to get the tuner to d/l channels...i'm south east england.thx in advance

p.s. got 100% signal strength so no prob there.
p.p.s. hope this post does not contravene any rules.

followed instuctions, wont allow 163000khz...says out of range?..its a preset with E5 as channel?...no radio, fta , nothing...:beatdeadhorse5:

**stevie1961** · 24-10-2009, 11:08 AM

If 163000 mhz dont work, scroll through the transponders and pick one with good signal and quality. You have to know what the symbol rate is in your area, Ie 6887 etc

163000 WORKS IN MY AREA

**ade1970** · 24-10-2009, 02:44 PM

hi Stevie, thx for reply...will try again with added info...just a quick note that i dont actually see a 163000 mhz in my list of ts, starts with 175000 on standard ?...and will ck sym rate etc.

**ade1970** · 24-10-2009, 05:23 PM

thank you pimps...totally symbol rate prob, match with a normal transponder..thx again:respect-046:

Can you tell me does dvb-s and dvb-c tuner can work simultaneously i.e. can you record with one and watch on other in the same time?

P.S. as you may see english is not my native language

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I have installed my Cable tuner in my Azbox Premium no problem but can not manage to get any any quality. I have 100% strength but no quality.

I have scrolled through all the pre set settings and none of them seem to give any quality.

Below I think are my cable area details:

Luton 1 NTL, 00005 739000 6887
Luton 2 NTL, 00005 755000 6887

Has anyone else had the same issue when they have tired to set up their cable tuner?

Thanks in advance.

**stevie1961** · 09-11-2009, 03:42 PM

If you are getting a good signal but no quality, this will be a problem with the symbol rate, or the transponder has no channels

purentl 6887
others ????

If you are sure your symbol rate is correct, choose another transponder or enter a known working transponder in your area.

manual scan, nit

**DJ_Fletch** · 09-11-2009, 03:55 PM

Would 739000 be the symbol rate?

**ade1970** · 09-11-2009, 04:00 PM

mines like 6952...

**DJ_Fletch** · 09-11-2009, 04:43 PM

Cheers I will give that a go and see how I get on.

**aqa** · 09-11-2009, 06:03 PM

only 2 symbol rate pure is 6887 all other is 6952.

**stevie1961** · 09-11-2009, 06:12 PM

my mistake 6952

**DJ_Fletch** · 10-11-2009, 10:51 AM

STANDARD
MANUAL
NIT
E56
755000

Hello All,

First off, thanks for previous posts in this thread. now for the but, I have manage to scan all channels 271 tv and 37 radio, then I save them and exit the search menu, then go to view the tv, I have a blank screen with a message no signal. When i open the channel list all the channels are there but now i have a no signal icon flashing at top right of the screen,
if i press the blue button (tuner) it puts an error message (can't find channel list )
If i go back to the search menu the default settings have returned and i have 100% strength no quality, when i put my local settings back in, i get 100% strength 90% quality.
Have tried with FW 3501 and 3877 results the same.
I have checked all connections rebooted deleted all channels rescanned and i still have the same problem.
If you can think of anything else to try, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
eltel.

Sounds like a firmware problem, I've had it by uploading from a channel editor.

If all else fails, put newest firmware http://dailyfw.azupd.com/ on a usb stick, restart box, choose "format application area", Then install new firmware and rescan.

I had this problem sime time ago with one of the firmwares, something was corrupt. Also when you used the button for choosing the tuners, tuner b would dissapear.

Hope thats of some help, 0.9.4001 working well with dvb-s and dvb-c

Just mkv's driving me up the wall:sifone:

**eltel2** · 16-12-2009, 05:20 AM

Thanks Stevie,

Will give it a go later, I have been read around the forums and I think its something to do with frequency / TP settings

Cheers,

eltel.

**eltel2** · 16-12-2009, 12:19 PM

Hi All

No luck with your suggestion Stevie, tried 4001 fw many reboots and formats and I still get the same results, have been using these settings.

STANDARD
MANUAL
NIT
666750
6952
64
A/C

As i said before i get all the channels but when i go to watch tv, there is no signal quality, but there is signal strength, however if i use these settings,

STANDARD
MANUAL
NORMAL
666750
6952
64
A/C

I get 13 channels and i can watch some of these, they all seem to be vm promo channels and all around the 666xxx Mhz range.
It makes me think it is something to do with the azbox scanning ok, but then confussing the frequencies.

Any help, please guys,

Cheers,

eltel.

Hello ade1970.

I have the same problem as above. If I do a manual scan with the following settings :-

Standard
Manual
NIT
E56
667500
6952
64
A/C

I get 100% signal and 90% quality and it scans in 300 channels and over 30 radio stations. When I save this to my channel list and go to view one of the channels it shows no signal on the screen, for some reason all the quality has gone even though there is still 100% signal.

If I scan with above variants but change NIT to normal I can scan 5 free vir***n demo channels and view these.

Any other suggestions as I am total noob to this.
