    hi joebass, can you explain that in english ?:) why would changing the n*l box have anything to do with the eurovox?
    mgb17 I know that, I was just trying to illiminate all the possibilities, I tried the DVB-T and it obviously won't work, but the eurovox max v (ie dvb-c) isn't doin anythin either and when I saw the chorus logo on the letter they sent him I had to try... I have since gone back to the eurovox max V. I tried powerscans from 250 to 402 with symbolrate 6887 loadsa times and nothing comes up on my uncle's (nothing at all). Then I tried inputting the freq manually that you gave to SRFC08, on another thread ie:
    250
    266
    282
    298
    314
    330
    346
    362
    378
    the first four gave me great freq quality and levels (up over 90%), the others didn't find any channels. anyway, those first few gave me around 18 channels with no names and when I went to the channels it simply says no signal even tho when i press the info button twice i can see great signal strength... i even tried putting the old s/w (ie sept) but that was worse. so I put the oct 15th s/w again. It may be that the channels need a while to decode so I left the bloody thing on the channel for the day to see if time helps it. anyway, I really think I've tried everything, perhaps if I had a channel/freq list for tuam area it mite help when i manually input. it's frustrating.

    These are the tps for the N*L MMDS transmitter in Tonabrucky.

    258.000
    274.000
    290.000
    306.000
    322.000
    338.000
    354.000
    370.000
    386.000

    You can try them individually if you like but as was said earlier a scan from 250 upwards should have given you you channels. BTW a Eurovox TX is only for Ch**us MMDS.

    Thanks Sc0user,
    Like I said I've tried the scan from 250 dozens of times with nothing, I'll try manually inputting those freq next chance. I really do know that DVB-t is for chorus mmds, as a siad before, the only confusion is figuring out what service he is getting because the whole N*L/Ch*rus being the same flippin company thing, but I'm pretty sure it's simply N*L mmds he has, either way i've got both a eurovox max V (i.e DVB-C) AND a eurovox TV (ie DVB-T), tried em both and neither are doin a flipping thing for him.

    The frequencies from Sc0user are for ntl mmds in Waterford and Dublin and not for Galway.
    If the frequencies for Galway are not working there is a problem with the signal strength. The eurovox should be connected to the tv output side of the power inserter without any splitter and the power plug for the inserter should be plugged in.

    Hi mgb17 I got the list from a member on MMDS in Galway here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/558954 his name is also MMDS, maybe he was incorrect but he did give his channel list for MMDS Galway which matched the Dublin one and yes it does seem strange although he used an AFN he set up himself. I would concur that your frequencies are correct either way.

    The list in that thread was posted from LastCuban and LastCuban is not based in Galway.
    The posted list in that thread is for ntl mmds Waterford and Dublin.

    The member named MMDS said he was based in Galway on N** MMDS and his list was the same as Lastcubans. Strange I know.

    A Channel dump I have for Galway MMDS is:

    250.000
    266.000
    282.000
    298.000
    314.000
    330.000
    346.000
    363.000
    378.000

    So as said I concur that the info MMDS gave us in his thread is somewhat strange. Either way as you said a powerscan will pick it up.

    Hi Lads,
    The eurovox is connected to the tv output side of the power inserter without any splitter and the power plug for the inserter is plugged in, checked everything I think. I'll try entering all these freq manually when I get a chance (prob tomoro) and see what happens but powerscan isn't pickin up anything. Yet, as I said, the signal is fine when he uses the installed N&L (UPC) box and when I entered some freq (eg 250) and did a manual scan I found some unnamed channels and when I watched them it just says no signal and updating, but when I press the info button the signal is strong (like 80% +). I really cant understand what's goin on.

    Compared with the list for mmds in Waterford and Dublin from your previous posting:

    258.000
    274.000
    290.000
    306.000
    322.000
    338.000
    354.000
    370.000
    386.000

    Do you see the difference?

    Thanks for the reply I think my problem is down to me having an analog aerial and from what I hear the Eurovox TX will only work on digital mmds any idea yourself ????

    @ihatentl
    It looks like there is a problem with the signal strength.
    Try an booster. You need an booster which supports the full frequency range between 50 and 850mhz. A normal TV booster with a gap between 230 and 470mhz doesn't help much.
    You have to fit the booster between power inserter and box.

    The theme is ntl mmds in this thread not chorus mmds.
    The first frequency for chorus mmds should be 234 in your aera.
    Beside that you need a working mmds aerial. A mmds aerial without power inserter is not working.

    Cheers mgb17, reckon i'll have to get one, strange how it's strong enough for the installed NTL box but not the eurovox, but it's the only thing left to try at this stage. I'll pop into Maplins. Cheers
