help please with "the box"

i bought the box from iwantabox.com

I have no idea what codes to put where or how!

can someone please tell me how to get channels

im with chorus, not mmds, true cable.

when i go auomatic installation, there a no channels detected i get this message "0 program found"

when i try to do a manual scan im asked for

-down frequency
-symbol rate
-constellation
-network scan

i looked at the sticky topic for chorus codes and could not make head nor tail of it!

please help,

Tim

 

Here are the latest frequencies for Ch**** True Cable: It is area dependent so not 100% these are for Dublin.

Press Menu > Installation > Manual Scan

Input these freq's in the "down Freq" ,
Do each freq on seperate scans and see how many channels you end up with

274.000 371.000
282.000 378.000
290.000 394.000
298.000 410.000
306.000 427.000
314.000 444.000
322.000

symbol rate of 6875.

 

thanks for the reply, im still getting nothing.

i was messing about before hand, and currently the constellation is 64 QAM and network scan is set to disable

any ideas as to what they're meant to be?

cheers

 

Did you input ALL the Freq and do a scan for each one seperate ?

Where have you got your incoming cable plugged into on the Starview ?

 

yeah i did a scan for each one.

and the incoming cable is plugged from the socket in the wall into the bit in the back of the box called "cable input"

 

You could change the network scan to Enable and see if that helps

 

no mate sry, that did not work

i was looking at a sticky thread, and there are codes you put in.

i put in the codes for chorus, but it doesnt stay if you not what i mean. i select chorus i put in 00 then blah blah (numbers etc)

press ok, then i hit exit, i go back in and its back to ntl!

does that make sence?

 

Apologies for jumping in Celt

t1m2 you are in Greystones correct me if I am wrong.

 

Yeah I am indeed

cheers for the help guys I appriciate it

 

How did I know that Bad news is you are in an analogue only area and it will not work until you are upgraded by UPC.

 

ah ok thanks!. do you reckon upc will update anytime soon? or do you have to ask to them to do it for you?

 

Supposed to have done it a long time ago, but like anything it will take time, heard it may be after Xmas. Ring Ch**** and tell them you are interested in a digital package and ask them if/when it will be available to you.

 

ok cheers! thanks for the help

 

just got off the phone with chorus, most unhelpful, theyve know idea when/if they will upgrade us to digital. it just makes me want this starview even more now...
