    Do a normal powerscan with symbol rate 6887, using frequency range 290.000 to 403.000, this is for N** Dublin cable. Make sure you are plugged into cable in and not ant in.

    Hi,
    > I have just received my Euro-vox max 2008 series and I am having a
    > little trouble setting it up.

    > I was just follwing the instructions as per the Eurovox setup
    Mode=Normal
    Start= 250.00 mhz (start at 100mz if in Ireland)
    > Stop = 870.00 mhz
    Symbol rate= 6.952 mbaud
    Symbol rate 6.887 mbaud
    Step 8
    (if on Chorus - bottom symbol rate should be set at 6875mbaud)

    >
    I am from Kilkenny in Ireland so I set it up to 100.00 mhz

    > When I am trying to install the stations I am entering in 6.952mbaud
    > in the first Symbol rate.
    > The instructions then say I should enter 6.887 mbaud but if on Chorus
    > (which I am) enter 6.875.
    > However there are 4 symbol rates on the screen.
    I have tried using 6.952mbaud in the first box and 6875 in the 2nd box ( it puts in a decimal so its 6.875, i am not sure if thats part of my problem) and leaving the rest at zero and putting the very bottom box as 8 with the cable is plugged into RF IN but it is still not picking up anything.
    I am not picking up any channels and it says no Transponder found.
    I am with Chorus orginally although now they are merged with NTL.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.




    Thanks so much.
    Martin

    Hi Karljd,
    I tried that but I ma afraid it does not work.
    The TP is coming up .000 and no channel numbers are appearing.
    Is there anything else i can be doing incorrectly.
    The system is 29.10.07.
    Thanks again
