    dvb-c ...how to set up tuner?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    if the symbol rate 6887 does not work, try 6992

    if both dont work then that transponder is not transmitting anything

    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
