Just did a power scan and it picked up more frwquenciez but only 6 tvch channels, noine of which connected. however this time it said 'no audio / video' and then changed to the no signal, and back again etc. Any ideas now? it seems to be getting worse :(
(the signal and quality jumped from 0 - 100%)
On the frequency page I noticed tghat the signal was jumping from around 30% to 80% too.
any ideas now?

Do you have friends or family nearby that you could try it in their house?
Try this first, please do a factory reset and add these TPs manually. To add these freq's you need to go to installation, green button for ch edit, red button add TP, enter freq and symbol rate 6952.
Press ok, then repeat these steps until all frequencies are added. When they're all in press exit and go back to first page of install menu. press the red button for update channels. Here are the list of frequencies to install:
459.000
394.750
594.750
466.750
730.750
338.750
666.750
538.750
474.750
410.750
738.750
346.750
282.750
418.750
746.750
354.750
682.750
290.750
554.750
426.750
362.750
626.750
562.750
434.750
370.750
570.750
442.750
378.750
578.750
450.750
386.750
714.750
522.750
All at symbol rate 6952. I know it's a bit of work, but you can try them one by one and see what you get. It is important to do the scan from the wall to box, take out any splitters.

no. The thing is i know the box works. about a year and a half ago my brother got a Eurovox Max V and it works in his house (in stoke). My mum bought herself one of these boxes and me one too. My bro set up this box and hers whilst in macclesfield. however since shes deaf and subtitles weren't working he swapped her eurovox ex1000 with his max v.
anyway he dropped me off here (bolton) and set up my box. couldn't get it working. We tried the other one that was working in macclesfield for a few hours (on tuesday i was watching it, and on wednesday was when he changed the max v box). anyway that's the box I have now.
Like i said, we had a bit more success with whatever frequencies / firmware he was using but it didn't help much really, everything was still unwatchable it just found it. I can't remember what he was using but I will ask him and see if he can remember (we tried about 10 different things but because he had to go home couldn't finish it off).
There's noone in bolton that we can test it with really.

Right I did that. the first 25 frequencies went really quickly on the screen then the final ones took ages. I found 6 channels and about 4 radio stations, none of which would connect.
Now what? the signal strength on some of these frequencies was around the 90% mark so something must be working :/

I seem to remember my bro used the chatterbox toolbar and the secret menu (1968). What he did with them i don't know though. does it sound familiar? I did go to the secret menu and change a value, do you think this is what's made it worse? (He seemed to be having much more success than I am).

Ive got a really bad technical problem. When i put my tv on av channel 4 my eurov*x, a humming noise started a couple of days ago. This morning, the noise is still there, but now the picture bounces! Tried different c*ble lead, thats not the problem. Any ideas? Think its the socket that my c*ble lead plugs in2? If it is, can i buy sumfink2replace it? Or do u think its sumfin else?

I changed the settings in the secret menu to my brothers and i found 49 frequencies. did a deep scan and two updates and it found a few channels but none are working. I've just changed the key settings for NTL (with info taken from the bigmaq tool bar) and i'm running another deep scan. Can anyone tell me the keys which should work? or are mine correct?

Right important update
I just ran a scan and it found a few channels. I left it on the bad signal screen for a bit and i managed to get a picture (for about .5 of a second). it went off again and then it came on. I just ran another update and the epg is getting filled (a few sports sky sports x mutv and at the races [displayed as tvch4]) I have a few more channels listed now too such as itv 1 and ideal world. none of the channels are connecting though again. not even like before. I'm deffo getting closer.

I just manually added the frequencies from the other day and ran an update. It found over 300 channels and 80 stations :) Some channels work some don't. We're finnaly there. Now how can I improve my signal / get more channels (still no sports and the signal is really bad on most channels).

I've got it working!!!!
It turns out that my cable was just loose. I messed around with it for a few minutes and now I have a super strong signal. I did an update and it found loads of channels. Just doing a power scan now to see if I can get some more channels (sky sports wasn't there and only setanta 2).
If this doesn't ge tthem I may use the cdf I don't know. I'm scared to move it now :)
anyway thanks again Sc0user and Hiteck, I think the problem was a poor connection and the area keys were wrong / out of date. Anyway 
to the both of you :)

Long time since I posted.
So I fixed that problem and get a load of channels, but i'm still not getting sky sports and a few others. Come novevember when the digital switch over happens will I then be able to get sky sports or am I always going to be without them?
