Struggling with

Havent got patience but I have lots of time LOL.

Best bet is to purchase the basic digital package and you will have it working straight away

 

Scouser mate dont mean to contradict you but i have basic n.l analouge and so have most of my mates and the box,starview1,eurovox all work perfect,maybe im taking you up wrong.

 

Not cotradicting me at all pray tell.

 

Never had n.l digital just basic have a starview and eurovox both work perfect over 140 channels on each

 

Sorry Karl I was saying he maybe just had an analogue connection. Your basic connection is still digital but just a basic package with less channels, therefore yours should work.

 

ok thanks for clearing that up scouser

 

Now you have me questioning myself LOL

 

Lads,

Was thinking about this myself! As my cable has been in for 20 years I assume I am still recieving an analogue signal. I am however getting my new ntl signal installed in new apt. tomorrow. Does this mean that where you recieve your 17 basic ntl channels over co ax now it is a digital signal(Despite lack of box etc....)

Hope that makes sense

 

Hi Conor I think we have stepped into a grey area. Firstly I presume you are getting a basic digital package in your new place. Secondly going back to your original problem what does it say on your N** bill regarding the cable we spoke of yesterday?

 

Just checked the ntl bill it says "Basic TV Pack" on my current N"" bill. Was going to get the basic pack for the new place too! as I thought this was enough to rub the box!

 

Yes now you have me going over my words as I am not sure whether you have digital or analogue. Can you ring N** and ask as basic may also imply digital cable. Sounds like digital to me where is the general area of your new apartment. Is it still Drumcondra? As I was going over a few things last night and you are in a digital area.

 

Yeah mate still Drumcondra! Sure I will try it on the new cable tomorrow and see how it goes! will let you know if its the old / new pipe that is the solution!

 

Cheers would like to know if it was a cable problem or a me problem

 

Just thinking back over scouser,never had any digital since i moved in here 1n 1990 just the old fashioned 12 channels or whatever,dont think its digital maybe im wrong though,but happy days the boxes work perfect thats all that matters for now!

 

As said it could be a "me" problem Sometimes I wish I could be right all the time.

 

Getting back to conorh problem my mate bought the box and it wasnt picking up any channels i went through all the set up with him all was fine but for some reason the symbol rate was set at 6952 instead of 6887 maybe this could be the prob

 

6952 is a UK symbol rate. Strange that it worked in Ireland but worth a go.

 

that was his problem he got no channels with 6952 got the lot when he manually set it back to 6887

 

Scouser you spend so much time helping people you dont need me giving you grief lol,thanks for all the help

 

Ah I see sorry Karl all Starviews have this problem as they continually change to TW as the network provider until you manually change it to NTL,even then when you go back onto your provider screen say for rescan purposes it will have TW again, bit of a pain. Although I told conor to do this on the previous page so he should have checked that.
