cheers. I will run the 8.952 test now. I guess i can live without them, but a bit disappointed too. (do older boxes have more success per chance?).
by the way, if this test is successful, is there anything I can do to increase the success rate of picking up channels, or getting a stronger signal? such as a longer more through scan?

It is 6952 ;) If you are in an analogue area and that's yet to be proved until you conduct a scan. Do a full powerscan on that symbol rate.
Yes you can improve it somewhat with some minor alterations of the frequencies via a manual scan. But lets see what you get first ;)

just found some channels. It loaded and went to the adult channel. I left it there for a minute or two and it said bad signal. I changed to another channel (sky sports news) and it picked up a signal. I put at the races on (as that was the channel i was having trouble with yesterday) and it got a signal but after about a minute it went off. i left it on the bad signal message for about 5 mins but it didn't return. I just tried a 'tvch' which had a programme listed in the epg, and it didn't get a signal after a while. i tried teachers tv which showed everything and it's on and is a clear steady feed.
any ideas now?

bumpage. If I tried to do a manual scan what should I do? I don't know what frequencies the channels are at.

Did you find the channels on 6952? what is the signal like now, press info twice on the problem channels and report back the signal strength. How many channels did it pick up and did you start the scan fromm 100,00-to 850,00 as said above?.

yes 6592
i
it's on teachers tv, level and quality are both at 78-80%. It's not perfect and sometimes 'squeaks' but it's watchable.
79 channels showed up. I put it on 'tvch9' and the strength is at 85 but it's not showing anything. just a bad signal.
And yes I scanned from 100-850 and 8 steps on 6.952 (I did a factory reset on 6.952, that's correct yes?)

Download THIS CDF to your box, clear data first and see if that helps at all.

I did the sci fi channel (it was working before) and it got a code and was playing (although very jumpy). Will do a factory reset and a deep scan now. i'm going away for a day so if I don't reply until tomorrow night, that's why. cheers for the help :)

Ok it found about 10 channels, most of which don't work. Eurosport works but is again very jumpy.
Could it be my connections are loose? or I'm just in a poor area? (I have trouble getting a clear signal on normal tv / freeview as it is). as I said I will be going away for the day now so will try anything else tomorrow, but would another box have more success? I may be able to acquire a different one.
Also, my internet signal is perfect so i don't see why the tv one would be struggling so much.

Afternoon gents :) I think you would have been close enough with HiTeck's CDF, but you had probably looked at channels on a TP that was missing or it needed to be off set. Or indeed that the channel is just not available to you given your location.
Yes you could check all your connections and make sure if you are doing a scan, do it without any splitters. I still have a funny feeling you are in the analogue part of Bolton. If you can get your hand on an analogue box for your area I can guarantee it will work.
But as I stated yesterday, the SR was incorrect, you have now corrected it. The CDF HiTeck gave you was close to what you needed but you had to add some TPs, edit others, and basically do a slight adjustment to all.
We can help you with that, but you need to help us too ;) A few screen shots of your TP table would be helpful after your 6952 powerscan would go a long way. We need to see what you are seeing to a point.
But as you rightly surmised if your cabling isnt spot on then you obviously will be having problems. Just because your BB is OK it doesn't necessitate that the signal to the EV is.
If you are in an analogue area there may also be a line filter as well as an isolator in use in your omni box, i.e. external VM box.
There are a few variables, so you help us and we should get you sorted :)

So what do you want me to do? Check my connections, remove the splitter for the time being, load the cdf and do another power scan? and then record the tp screen?
