    Hi tdtd80

    Thanks again for the help,

    Can I just run this by you to see what you think......
    When I first got the Digivox - T, before it was flashed I was able to pick up audio with no picture of the 4 home tv stations r*e 1 & 2 t*3 & t*4 and a few radio stations as well. Does this tell you if the aerial down converter combo is working or not?

    Thanks again

    i was just thinking there
    u have an 18v
    maby its not strong enough ???

    if you buy a 24v in your local shop and its works keep it
    if not you can always return it keep the receipt

    you said you were picking up some channels just not them all
    maby this is the cause

    some sites advertise that the box (DIGIVOX t) comes with the "LATEST FIRMWARE" (they flash it)

    T

    Digivox T is for Chorus only, will not work with NTL mmds. A eurovox or starview will but most of the channels are gone from NTL now.

    Are you working on N*L ? Most of the channels are gone from N*L, so you might have to consider Kryptview!!

    Hi tdtd80,
    Sorry for not getting back sooner, I bought the 24v downconverter but made no difference.
    Not sure what to do next!!!

    Hi,
    I tried another aerial on the roof pictures below. Do you think it is set up correctly. http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?PhotoNbr=1&MemberId=9255273460&PhotoAlbumId=10784654929

    I am getting no signal at all and I think the aerial is to blame.
    This aerial is a MMDS replacement Chorus aerial antenna AM G18 (with 18db gain) MMDS downconverter it is a Panorama er - 681 plus Input 2500 - 2700 Mhz, gain 38db, L.O. 1838 MHZ, N.F. 1.5 DB.
    I got them from sat and cable.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi im new to this digital reciever world. im having problems with my digivox-t - it won't find any channels when scanning. I presume i have the right box as i recieved Digital TV through an ariel type reciever from ch***s.

    i've installed the v4300 firmware - is this the correct firmware for Ireland?

    I installed the firmware via an old PC on the provided RS232 connection using downloader10.exe - this worked.

    then once i turn on the box i scan automaticially for the channels selecting the correct provider. however no channels are found can someone please help

    hi tipp4liam , it could be 2 things. first 1 your downconverter i think is a uhf 1. ie it has a low of 1838 so 2500-1838 =662 so middle of first freq will be 666 so you will have to do a manual scan as the auto scan i think stops around 450 for digivox just go in to do a manual scan and put in first freq of 666 and then add 8 to each step and scan again. ie next scan 674 682 and so on. your dipole/downconverter also looks set up horizontal so make sure what ever mast your pointing at is horizontal look at neighbours otherwise you will have to turn the downconverter to vertical in the aerial.. also make sure you have the co-ax cable in right input at back of digivox it goes into the top left input marked antenna,try the manual scan anyway starting at 666...

    Hi all,
    I have a digivox t box connected to a power supply and a amg24 aerial.
    When I do an automatic scan no channels are found.
    I plugged in the aerial directly into the back of the tv and I was able to manually tune in the the 4 home channels.
    I flashed the digivox t with v3300, so I think the box is ok.
    Can anyone help please!!

    the aerial plugs into the t box and for picture u use a scart,also make sure u switch antenna on before a scan.
