starview box 2 cannot get any channels can someone help

I received my starview box and everything sucessful on PC part. I have gone through installation but it is finding no channels. I bought the box up to my friends house who has N*L and 188 channels are coming in. I have N*L cable which I got switched on last week, could it be they have blocked me using box in my house.

 

can anyone help please

 

Have you got your incoming cable in "Cable Input" and a scart to the TV

 

Yes I have

 

Ok the best thing to do is a factory setting and proceed with a fresh installation

Menu > Factory Setting
PIN 0000
OK to delete

Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

English > Installation
Choose N*L etc
Automatic Scan
Press OK
176 Channels found
Exit

Menu 1570
Turn EMU key ON

Exit , exit , exit

 

I read one of your posts earlier on Celtic and tried this but still nothing

 

can anyone help me desperate at this stage. Why is it working in my friends house in D22 and not in my house D20.

 

Plug your incoming straight into the TV and see if you have normal stations

 

Hi Celtic

Thanks for getting back, I have the normal stations. as I said in my first post, my daughter took the box to her friends house and all the channels loaded. When she came back last night I plugged in the box and low and behold the channels were there. Some of them are not working, there either frozen or black screen, they were all working at the friends house. How can I fix this problem. Thanks again for helping me.

 

You need a booster as your signal is probably too weak.

 

Thanks Scouser, I will buy one the weekend and try it. I have a few teles working off the same cable could this be why I have a week signal.

 

It most certainly your problem I would say.

 

Do you think the Booster box will solve the problem

 

I had a similar problem to you and I ended up changing the cable, connectors and splitters. I was even able to get rid of the booster I had, (although this may be different in your case, dependent upon your set up). Here are some links for you:
