MMDS Set-up Complete Beginner

i think we are going to have to wait for an firmware update,, there are fixes out for C-tuners which ntl uses but we could be in trouble with ch***s as it uses a t tuner
i don't think there was a fix in the uk as nobody is using it overthere as far as i know
im awaiting news from senior members ,, lets hope its soon

 

all back working

 

I have the box T and its doing the same thing. Is it new firware that is needed or is the problem Rectifying itself?

 

mine are all down aswell, has anyone any ideas as to what has gone wrong, were ok this morn but went all of a sudden and no change

 

Gone in Wwxford as well

 

I MEAN WEXFORD (RURAL)

 

It appears that all of the boxs went down yesterday and while there seems to be fixs for many of them this does not include those using MMDS such as the Box T & Eurovox TX. Guess we'll just have to be patient and see what happens.

 

I'm using progdvb with a freecom usb stick to watch differnt channels in the house to the main sagem box. I'm having trouble getting all the channels though. I'm getting about 53 channels but Missing rte 1,2,tv3,tg4 sky sports 2,3 setanta ireland etc(qyuite a few of the channels i'd like to use in two places). Obviously i'm not getting all the transponders on a scan and I was wondering have the frequencies changed lately as i had all these working before (approx six months ago) have tried scans from 218 to 402 MHZ without success.

Any ideas?

 

hi

is it possible to hook 2 mmds boxes up to one aerial with one power supply thanks?

 

yes , you need an mmds splitter

 

ok does anyone know where i can get one of these and also do i spit the cable before it enters the power supply or after? Thanks

 

will any 2 way f-splitter do or is there a specific one for mmds?

 

Something like

or
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29530

fleabay might be cheaper

 

Where would I get one of those and is there much hassle in setting it up please ?????

 

ok will i need two power supplies or can i just split the cable coming from the power suppy to the t.v.

 

only one power supply needed, that i know.

i can't remember if you have to split it before or after the power supply

 

before the power supply

 

If you want to risk the tuner at one box before.
If not behind or use a splitter with dc blocker at the leg with direct connection to the tuner.

 

mgb17 i dont understand what you are saying can you explain further please I was going to use this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29530 do i need any more equipment than this?
Thanks

 

The power inserter is sending between 12 volt and 24 volt up to the downconverter at the aerial via the antenna socket.
If you fit a splitter with dc pass between aerial and power inserter, the voltage is also transfered via the second leg to the tuner at the second box and thats not so good.
