    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,

    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 Skip and eltel2,
    Did you manage to get any channels working ( apart from the v**gin demo ones). I have just purchased a AZbox premium box with a cable tuner installed. I have scanned all the channels and saved them. When I go to view them on the TV , the screen is blank with no signal.

    Do I need to install any plugins to get this working.

    Thanx

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

    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.

    wot i had was recommended was factory reset, and format app area, tuner in slot B, then do cable tv scan 1st -as said b4 try fta bbc1 transponder 1st, on network search...total pain but hey it works, then check got all transponders working and/or manually enter any missing ones...then do satellite channels after all done. all fta should now be ok...well fingers crossed for you. i use mgcamd sucessfully.

    I can only scan channels on 1 transponder, all the others have signal but no quality. The transponder that I scan from has 100% signal and 100% quality and brings all the channels down on it. Like I mentioned before, once stored and viewed the quality goes and no signal is displayed on the screen. All the information regarding the channel is there to view and even all the EPGs for each channel is there.

    This is totally doing my nut in . Also tried differant firmware too.

    I would have said it could be a problem with the tuner , but then why would I be able to view the Vir**n promo channels that come down on the same transponder.

    One more question , if viewing the FTA channels would I need to run mgcamd.

    Thanx

    Finally got it going , where I was going wrong :-

    I was changing the transponder to inculde the the details from my area and then doing a scan, but what I should have been doing was selecting it from the transponder list and ticking the new edited transonders box. Once I did this then the channels came down. the more transponders I changed with the new frequencies and symbol rates and ticked their boxes the more the channels came down.

    It was like hitting the jackpot on the fruit machine.

    Side thought though - If it took me this long to solve this god knows how long it will take me to get the mgcamd up and running.

    Thanx

    Glad you guy's have it working, Dvb-c can be really tricky.

    Mgcamd is easy to set up, you just need the proper keys, I got mine from the benq toolbar.

    Multicas is the better option, as it acts as an emu for cable and cardsharing for satellite, but editing the key's was difficult.

    I have the correct key.bin if required, but cannot upload it here.

    Hi Guys,
    Not been here for a while, just to let you know, after a lot of attempts got everything up and working, had to scan each TP frequency individually.
    Cheers,
    Eltel2.

    You say that you have edited the keys for multicas.Double check to see if the box has received your edited keybin (plugins>opencas>camd setup>multicas>edit and convert keys>nagravision).I found that the box didn't always receive the keybin file after ftp'ing it.
