    HI,
    I have just received my first cable receiver today, a eurovox v max, it seems to be working fine, except for the fact that I do not seem to have all the movie channels.
    The one's I can get are Screen 1, Premier, Premier +1, Modern Greats, Movies 24. Surley there should be more.
    After the initial scan there were 148 TV channels, then did an auto scan and it rose to 155, a lot of channels are named TvCh6 or similar, but these do not seem to be movie channels.
    Also I am not geting Virgin or Virgin +1?
    I live i Bradford, ex Telewest.
    Should I just keep auto scanning until I find the rest? eg Screen 2, Action, Sci-Fi.
    Exactly how many channels/movie channels should I have.
    Your assistance is most apreciated.
    Thank You!

    Thanks for all the advice I was inundated with guys, this site really is invaluable (sic)

    I've sorted it anyway.
    For some reason the literature that came with the box told me to scan from 250 - 870??
    Checked my friends starview and all my missing channels were below 250!
    So started again from 100 - 870 and now have all channels!

    Thanks again guys!! Hmmmm.

    Read what first??
    I didn't have a clue why the channels were not there, according to the leaflet I should have had them.
    It was only after I didn't get any joy on here I decided to travel 20miles to my friends and check his starview box.
    That's when I discovered all my missing channels were under 250Mhz!
    And so posted again advising I had sorted it!
    A bit sarcastically I admit, sorry about that!
    But I didn't have owt to read that would have sorted it??
    Problem now solved anyway.
    Blog closed!
    Ta!

    Sorry I was off for a few days would have pointed you in the right direction for frequencies. Everything else you need can be found in Eamos FTA Library at the bottom of my post.
