Digivox T mmds get it going (UPDATED)

Thanks Cactikid, I hooked up the aerial as you said, turned antenna on, and put scart through to the tv.
I done an automatic scan and got no channels, the scan started at 218000 and went to 370000.
If I was able to tune in 4 home channels with the aerial directly connected to the tv does that mean the aerial is working?
I checked all connections except the aerial up on the roof.
Should I start to scan further up the range.
Thanks

 

did you turn emu on, its in hidden menu, can you get into that,

 

as some areas differ u might have to state locality for someone to help u out with frequency in that region i think within 15 miles of transmitter.

 

I am able to turn emu on in the system information 1004
I live in the outskirts of limerick city and can see the mast its within about 5 miles of where I live.

 

your getting signal from cratloe so, ok your emu is on . there is 2 ways of lining up your aerial, vertial and horizontal_, you picking up any channels at all. 100% sure your should be horizontal, your power supply is fine ya , give try deleting everything and rescan

 

The emu has no affiliaton to the channel scan. Your amg aerial is simply using a different downconverting frequency range than a standard ch*rus aerial. You have to manual scan as mentioned some postings above.

 

i just flashed with v 3300 and now digivox says chdl and wont budge any help please?

 

its a bad flash thats all,reflash again have box powered off press download and power on box nearly at same time to force firmware onto box
it might work 1st time or 20th time.this is for a digivox t box only the firmware i mean as u just say u have digivox.

 

theres newer software now its the v4300

 

Lads i'm trying to set up my digivox t box i got it from iwantabox.com and it came with a RS232 cable but i bought a RS232 to USB to connect with my PC. I have tried opening downloader 10 and find the file but as soon as i hit download it starts but after a sec or 2 it says downloader10 encountered an error and needs to close so i can't flash the box. anyone got any ideas?? cheers

 

if you are using VISTA the downloader has problems with that operating system as far as i know

if you can... use Xp

did you get a driver with that usb cable ?? a disc ??? install it
you may have to download one to use with vista

 

Hi All
Trying to set up a digivox-t in Offaly between Ferbane and Ballinahown,
reading the tread I have the right firmware loaded, does anybody know where the nearest ch--- transmitter is in that area, or a way I could find out, there was a service there before but the antenna was taken down. I have the panormana rod type antenna
Any help would be great

 

how you doing ego28,

the best bet is to go around and look at the roofs of peoples houses that have chor&& installed and point it in that general direction

one more thing

as far as i know the new digivox t has NEW FIRWARE to flash
the old one was 3300 version
the new one is 3330 version

just in case you have trouble with it

t

 

Thanks tdtd80 for the response, downloaded the lasted from emo lib, the arent any antenna in the local area, this is rural area so next house quite a bit away, have heard there is a transmitter in athlone any idea how far the antenna will pick up a signal i'm about 12 mile away, does it have to be spot on to work, I know the broadcast at 2.5ghz is there a way I could find the signal i.e signal finder

 

ya you will pick it up at 12 miles once theres no big obstructions in the way have you already bought the box and antenna etc

 

Ye have digivox-t antenna and downconverter power supply, does the quality of the coax make a differance, any idea what the transmitter look like.

Thanks J

 

ya it will affect it ya can pick up good coax in any electrical shop for feck all
keep away from maplins and argos im on about a wholesale or someone who sell miles of it
unlike the other two which sell feck all and charge a fortune
six or seven euro will get ya loads
once ya have everything id chance setting it up ya have nothing to lose
when ya have it setup
do a scan make sure everything is turned on
then ya can check your signal strength and adjust accordingly

 

Got the coax from a wholesaler 30 euro for 50 mts it's standard coax and using the screw on f type connections, sorry if this is a silly question but how do you test the signal strength when I run an auto scan it comes no channels found. Also see on another tread that there is a ch---s transmitter on the water tower in Athlone which by google map is 9.5 miles away, how exact do the antennd direction have to be. I've also see on another tread that it has to be line of sight how could I find that out?
again tdtd80 thanks for all the help J

 

just select a channel eben if theres no picture and on the remote you will see a button with sig wrote on it thats the signal button

that cable will do just make sure ya attach the connections properly is your antenna power switched on in the settings on box and emu turned on if not ya can turn it on in the installations section

to turn on emu go to system info press 1004 with remote and then ya can scroll down to turn on emu then exit and rescan

 

Thanks daithi55 will try that on Thursday as I'm away from home for a few days working, just one question where is the channel eben,

Again thanks for the help and support.
