    Disable fast scan and choose bruteforce if available.
    Without a valid channel tuned in the numbers for ber and so on are not sensefull.

    Try this had similar problem to you with VM in NThell area

    Managed to get all my channels back by playing around with box.
    Sorted it by;

    unplug and plugged back box at mains,
    go into scan set up
    changed cable provider from Cable UK Sym 6887 to Cable UK Sym 6952
    (can only think VM are now using Tell*pest settings)
    New Scan setup
    Scan for Services------All Services
    Bouquet----------------overwrite Exsisting
    Cable Provider---------Cable UK Sym 6952
    Fast Scan--------------Off
    Manual Scan------------Off
    Frequency
    Symbol Rate
    FEC--------------------3/4
    polarization-----------H

    When finished it says scan sucessfull. So then home button several time to exit, unplug box from mains and replug it in. Wait for it to reboot up and "HEY PRESTO" Happy Days again found 334 channels and 182 transponders.

    So in your case try changing cable provider sym6952 to sym6887

    Best of luck....Alan

    Try all other options in the provider line. Remove all splitters and connect your box directly to your feed.

    I understand your settings are:
    scan for services = all services
    boquet = leave existing
    cable provider = sym6952
    fast scan = on
    manual scan = off
    freq
    sybol rate = 6952
    FEC = 1/2
    polorization = H

    change to these settings;
    Scan for Services------All Services
    Bouquet----------------overwrite Exsisting
    Cable Provider---------Cable UK Sym 6887
    Fast Scan--------------Off
    Manual Scan------------Off
    Frequency
    Symbol Rate
    FEC--------------------3/4
    polarization-----------H

    don't forget to unplug from mains before alterations and afte re-scan.
    Make sure you are in 1.73 ultra mode

    Ok, the second one is a F-socket to coax adapter.
    Unplug your box, use pliers and compress the slot for the plug pin at the box carfully a little bit.

    The connector is the right one.
    It looks like the little slot for the plug centre pin is too wide because the preowner didn't use the plug carefully enough.
