Hi All, Can anyone help clarify the situation, a little confused with my research so far. A mate has a u*c aerial in Ashbourne (ire) to get digital, and the Starview 4 is working perfectly. u*c box prvided. Another has an aerial installed by u*c, and gets an older n*l box provided. has a eurovox ex5000, but can't get any channels to tune. tried both the n*l and C****s keys on all symbol rates and has the latest firmware. So unless i've made some glaring mistake, there is more that one aerial signal in ashbourne. Can this be true? one is dvb-t and needs the digivox-t (or is there a better one or pvr version) and the other is dvb-c? Or can the starview 4 use both signals? Anyone aware of this, or have i missed something? help! J
hi there.if your second friend is chorus mmds, he would need dvb-t box.ntl mmds uses same box as all other cable.chorus mmds uses,eg,digivox-t.
Hi there jvob. Ashbourne's pretty small... your talking about 750mtrs between houses. Is that enough for two separate masts sending different signals?
Yes, apparently that area is a minefield, with different setups in the same area. I know that there are definitely people in the area using the Eurovox TX box (which works on Chorus MMDS).
hi there.your best bet maybe is to try starview4 in other house.if it doesnt work and we assume its same provider,then its a signal feed problem,maybe downconverter.do these houses have genuine stbs.also are your friends connecting them properly.
not sure what you mean by stbs? Both arials were installed by the same provider. the downconverter would be that plug adaptor thing the coaxial is going into from the aerial? You reckon these could be different?
hi there.stbs are set top boxes.the two aerials could still be using differant tuners (ie)dvb-c and dvb-t.chorus and ntl are same company.remember what sgb says about area being mixed.
A N*l box is not able to handle ch*rus mmds. If the second friend got a older N*l box its N*l mmds. If looks like the ex5000 box has problems to scan the N*l frequency range.
thanks for the replies folks. I reckon the only way to solve it is to try the starview 4 in the new gaf and see if it works. I'll let yis know how it goes.. after the weekend though. Ireland to win the gram slam tomorrow, and me to suffer on sunday!!!
Official results are in. The starview worked, so definitely dvb-c. Went through everything again, and got it working on the eurovox. Haven't quite put my finger on what was wrong the first time. So the aerial in Ash is DVB-C, works with starview and eurovox, and is N*L codes. thanks for your input folks. J
