hi all, need some help please guys, Just got my box-t. i am in cork and will be using ch***s, so i have an aerial on the roof and it is cabled correctly,downconvertor and power inserter installed, when i powered on the box, i chose english,then installation and then i did not have to make a choice for the provider, it went straight to autoscan or manual scan, but when the scan is done i get no channels. Should i have got the choice to choose a provider,Also parental control is not acessable. Also just to let you know the aerial is from an old system, maybe analogue

Hi,
Yes you should be able to choose ur provider.
Then do a auto-scan.

I see the same as you.
No choice of provider,only automatic or manual scan.
Automatic scan ,scans 12 transponders from 234 to 378Mhz.
I did a manual scan and that found the channels for me.

If its proper digital you have to input the frequencies manually for CHOR*S
Press Menu ,Installation, Manual scan
"Down Freq" = 274.000
Symbol Rate 6.875
Press OK to scan
Repeat the same process for these freq below
274.000
282.000
290.000
298.000
306.000
314.000
322.000
347.000
339.000
355.000
363.000
371.000
378.000
378.000
386.000
394.000
410.000
426.000
444.000

Hi Celtic,
thanks for the help,where in the manual scan can i enter the symbol rate of 6.875,
by just entering the frequencies on there own i still cant get any channels,
another thing is in manual scan, level and quality are at 0 %, should i at least have a signal on these bars, or is it only when i get a channel.
thanks

Sorry , Im not sure of the b0x-T set up
When you go into manual scan , do down and highlight the symbol rate and you should be able to use the numbers on your remote to enter 6875

You dont need the symbol rate as the Box T is only for Ch**us MMDS, just use the frequencies Celtic gave you, although it should be picking them up with an autoscan if you are receiving digital MMDS.

Have you got a Yagi or a Parabolic aerial ?
Are you sure you have the downconverter in the correct polarity ,Horizontal or Vertical ?
I think I will write an installation guide for this as so many people are asking about it.

Just noticeing now that you have version 5.01e E installed
Im nearly sure you should have "The Box-T V1 api.bin" installed
The firmware and loader can be found in Eamo's Library in the bottom of my post.

The polarity depends on your local transmitter.
Check the aerials in the neighbourhood.

hi hillman, just on another note, what aerial are you using, is it a genuine mmds aerial or a one you bought, ie AFN aerial, also what api file and version is loaded on the box t

You need 3 scart leads to connect SV to DVD recorder
1. SV to TV
2. DVD to TV
3. SV to DVD
I also use a coax cable to connect the SV to DVD and it works perfect
