    This could be because the EMU is turned off, to check if it is press the ‘Menu’ button on your remote and enter 1570, this will bring up another menu, look down the bottom of this and you will see ‘Key EMU’ make sure this is always ON.

    you might have to reset the settings then scan again.goto menu and ok factory settings put in password this will reset every thing.click ok on english then press 1570 and turn on emu key.then go to installation and run a scan.when finished exit all the way back and stations should be working.

    somebody suggested that they are not receiving direct N*L, but from a mast as they are outside Dublin.
    Would this be the reason cant find channels ?
    ANY VIEWS, ANYBODY.

    Yes it could be , Are you sure he has N*L and not Chor*s ?


    Make sure the main feed is plugged into "Cable Input" at the back of the b0x

    Try , menu > installation , choose provider > manual scan , "Down Freq" , type in 402000 and press OK

    See if any channels come up by manual scan

    Best of doing a factory setting

    Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

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

    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Automatic Scan
    Press OK
    Channels found
    Exit

    Menu 1570
    Turn EMU key ON

    Exit , exit , exit
