    do you have basic n**.is your cable split from the main cable.and make sure you have the cable in the cable input.

    hi,
    thanks for te quick response... after close nspection of my ntl white box on the wall, there are three wires coming out of it, one oes to my modem, one goes into my n*l box down staires (were im trying to get my sv box to work) and the other one goes back out side and in to my mum and dads room but it is not in sure e.g no box connected there.. so yes i guess it is split..

    thats why you get no signal because the signal is split in three.you can try taking out all the cables except the main one to the down stairs box.put the main cable into your box do a scan if you pick up all the channels and they work put all the cables back the way they were and hopefully it will still work.you may need to buy a signal booster but if you know someone with one try getting a lend of it to see if that helps.

    hmmmmmmmm.. wen i opened the white box i found that the the wire coming from out side was the one that was being split.. i took off the splitter and connected the sv straight to that cable, but still no signal.. i know that there is one of the cables in my mum and dads room is it possible that the cable had been split again outside maby???

    could be but it could also be a faulty box.can you try it on someone elses n** if it still doesn't work ring up the person who sold it to you and get a refund or a new box.

    here is a link for the latest software version ( it is only for 'the box') so make sure it is 'the box' before u download it

    you are in the uk so download 4.51 for uk
    but before u do this you might want to check this link out and try the codes for T***We*t. It may stop the freezing and scrambling !
