Tried it on chorus teletext etc all vary to 1/2 exit out of all and page is back to easy installation, should of waited for reply from my last thread!!! How do I retune and get it back working? Do I take out what cable in the back of box I have virgin cable, the cable where sticker on back was pulled off (Ethernet plug)

    you will never learn,to start afresh you have to factory reset and rescan,only a satbox overwrites your channels.

    First of all why did I have to factory default ok (this what you mean factory reset) When all was working ok? The LAN cable removed from the main feed, which one is this the verging cable or Ethernet plug, removed from the back of the box?

    I have box downstairs in living room with virgin cable coming in through the wall. Upstairs is my broadband where PC is, where router and modem are as well. Ethernet plugs in both of these rooms as well.

    On waiting for reply I have tried twice first removing Virginia cable and tried to rescan, then removed Ethernet plug but still just goes back to installation page

    Btw I exited when it told me to.

    Which is my main feed? Heeeeeelppp,

    Also List of network I'd, already exist is all I get, I am in oxford, but have not seen this come up on here for a long long time.

    the reason the factory reset/default is to clear out all info of old channels and to allow fresh info in.
    you dont need the lan cable for scanning,main feed is for your coaxial cable at the first point you can scan,no splitters or extensions used.

    follow the link for scanning and that should get it running again,if in doubt look at video again and again.

    Right looked at video 3/4 times now, this morning later on when I get time I will 1) factory default Ok, (no doubt installation page will come up again) 2) Cable feed plugged into box, broadband router plug plugged in to box, scart lead plugged into box & tv 3) Power off box and router wait for minute, turn back on and select Id network and scan?

    On video at start of, it states to power off router & box is this Before I scan or after. What is the LAN cable, no mention of this on video? On earlier message you say remove LAN cable, which is what? Again no mention of LAN cable remove on video?

    as i said before the box does not need a lan/internet cable inserted to scan,its only to get an ip address.

    when scanning in some places main coaxial feed is before the splitter feeding router and kv box so no internet,but only removed to scan in channels and once loaded put back.

    I really am none the wiser with that, 'main coaxial feed, is before splitter router & kv box' are you saying then just to connect kv box with with router/Ethernet plug and scan, then put the cable feed in after?

    Regards the IP address that, that is totally different from the Id network? Not sure different people use different terminology for different words which is why I am getting so confused not educated as you people are, so every 6 months or year when ever box goes down, I am starting from scratch again on how to do it.

    You said in an earlier thread I had exited without waiting, I only exited when it comes up complete or exit.

    You say above in quote box does not need LAN/Internet cable is this the cable feed you refer to?

    In video cable feed is A, broadband port is C. So what is A the screw in virgin cable/LAN & C is the Router/Ethernet/Broadband plug so what is coaxial feed?

    coaxial cable is what normally plugs into rear of tv
    https://www.google.ie/search?q=coaxial+cable&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:eek:fficial&client=firefox-beta&gws_rd=cr&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=oEgOUq-DA8u07QbSl4HQBA&biw=1024&bih=602&sei=pkgOUsyNK9Pe7AbEk4D4Aw

    to scan for channels that cable above needs to be rear of box before the splitter as once that is removed router will stop and where you had your kv will have no feed,when channels are found and net id done and finished ok and exit.connect splitter.

    insert lan/internet/cat5 cable and any other cables power on box and give it a min.

    lan/internet cable is no use for scanning on.

    https://www.google.ie/search?q=cat5&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:eek:fficial&client=firefox-beta&gws_rd=cr&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=2koOUsPzF8iM7Abqk4HoCA&biw=1024&bih=602&sei=3UoOUod568DsBpDIgaAN


    In video cable feed is A, broadband port is C. So what is A the screw in virgin cable/LAN & C is the Router/Ethernet/Broadband plug so what is coaxial feed?

    cable feed is by coaxial cable with an fplug screw on fitting

    Hi cactikid


    Right so what your saying is plug Normal Tv coaxial cable (this is the aerial on my roof in to the kv box?)

    Splitter what is this? Honestly have not a clue.

    What your saying is connect tv aerial to kv box (aerial normal old TVS) search net I'd, scan for channels, then exit.

    Then you say connect splitter whatever this is, then power on? When do I previously power off before you say power on?


    Am afraid I am away for a week heading off, in the next hour or so, so will have to continue this on my return, will check for any reply back in the next 45 mins. Thanks for advice though I am more confused than ever, which to you don't take much to confuse me!

    your box wont work with an aerial,it has to be alive cable feed from your provider and maybe yours comes out of wall skirting board use that and scan.
