    Just got the Box, works fine in Dublin, fails in Ratoath. Can anyone tell me are the codes different? N*L is the provider in the appartment block.

    Cheers

    If its N** it should work on both cable and MMDS using symbol rate 6887. Are you sure it is N** there as some of that area may be Ch**us analogue.

    Should be receiving 139 on cable I know you say plus or minus. Sounds like digital but could be a communal feed. Have you tried to delete the current channel data and then do a full powerscan to see what it can pick up. I know this area has proven quite sticky in the past.

    95% is way too high you could try using a 12Db attenuator but as said there have been a lot of people here saying they have a problem using boxes in your area.

    Ok tried that & it made no difference.

    I was told to try Ch***s that failed.

    Reset the box did manual scan on 370250 & found 157 channels.

    Info on channels in " Dublin legacy mmds" 6887.

    Again cheers for the help, hope this aids someone else
