Try setting it up in a friend's house who has digital then take it home and try it.

Try a normal powerscan using symbol rate 6887 and a frequency range from 290.000 to 403.000.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try both, but do all houses have a digital feed or can N**L select on a house-by-house basis?
Thanks again.

No they dont select on a house by house basis. As long as you have a live digital connection, (which you should have in STH Dublin if you pay for the basic package), do as I said and thats it. Also make sure you plug the coax feed into the cable in socket on the back of the EV and NOT in the ant in socket.

sc0user thank you, your instructions were spot on. I did it at 1am and got 90+ chs. I had a lot of pixel and sound break-up like a sat. dish out of alignment but it was too late to try and fix it.I read somthing about that on the FAQ's so I'll chase it down later today.
Thanks again for your help

Hi All,
Just an update, I now have 120+ channels with perfect reception. I found a poor connection on my cable and this was causing the picture and sound break-up. I'm looking for "The New Yankee Workshop" etc. and I can't find an EPG listing the programmes on the channels I have. Thanks to everybody who helped, may you have a very happy Christmas.

Hi All, I still have a problem! after I do a full scan I have 130 channels working fine, but after a few hours they start to "break-up"
I found a bad connection in the cable which "seemed" to fix it but it does not. Thank you for your help.

Press menu, installation and user installation, you will see a list of tps there sounds like you have one or two weak ones. What firmware are you using? Try it directly from the incoming feed.

Thanks sc0user, I'm using a direct feed but to no avail. I got the MaxV. on Christmas week so I assumed it had the latest firmware. Do you know the number of the latest version and how do I check my version. Thank you.

Thanks Vardrus, I have this version but still have the break-up. When I look at a channel in PiP mode the bars flash from red (15-27%) back up to 80%+. Thanks again.

If you live in a low signal area and have weak signal problems with poor results when scanning or picture breaks up when watching.
Go to Menu /Config / Settings /Signal Booster
The Default Settings Off
Switch On/
Press Blue button to Save & Exit
Also
Do as Scouser suggested and tell us a list of TP's you have
Press menu, installation and user installation, you will see a list of tps there sounds like you have one or two weak ones

Thank you Celtic. I have switched on the booster with little if any effect? The TP's listed are 291, 299, 307, 315, 323, 339, 347, 355, 363, 371, 379, 395, 403. It's not often it can be said, but your "addiction" is a great help to others!. I'm a boring DIY'er and I can't find The New Yankee Workshop or This Old House on any EPG, how can I establish if they are on Nx*L here? Thank you for your help.

Ok some of the TP's are slightly wrong
Here are the corrected ones below
339.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
347.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
355.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
363.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
371.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
379.500 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
394.000 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
402.000 Mhz 6.887 Maud QAM64
Press menu, installation, user installation, highlight 339.000 tp and use onscreen button guide to edit to 339.500. When done exit out to frequency page, highlight the new 339.500 frequency press OK, (a tick will appear beside it). Press blue button to enable a manual scan on this frequency.
Do that to all the listed above and that will sort it for you.

Hi Celtic and ScOuser, I've been away for a while and I'm just back. I'd like to thank you for all your help over the Christmas period, it was great to get help from experts. It appears I'm in a "low signal" area and therefore I'm getting mixed results, late at night I'm getting perfect resulsts on all/most channels but mid-evening I can have a lot of break-up on all the channels except 130 to 136. I'll check my attic cables again for kinks or connections but I just may have to live with mixed reception.
Kind regards and thanks again.

No problem, after you have checked all your cables/splitter, (if you use one), why not try a signal booster from Maplins,Argos or Peats. Does sound like a cable problem to me though.

Thanks scOuser, is it a "universal" signal booster or is there a digital booster?
Kind regards

You want the SLX1p from argos which you can return for a full refund if it doesn't help.
