Hi Paul again. I already posted this as a new thread you can delete if need be:Hi all, i have the box pvr. when running autoscan or manual scan can you change from KHz to MHz. every time i scan for channels the box only seems to scan in the KHz and not MHz. Am in Dublin any help greatfully received!!!! I downloaded latest bin file aswell from s*tdownloads and now can access secret menu although there is no emu option just autosearch on or off. The question re KHz to MHz might sound dumb but this is the only reason i can think of as to why I still get no chanells. thanks for help Sc0user Paul
Hi The auto update option in the Cas System menu(bottom item) is the emu on/off. Don't seem to be able to alter KHz to MHz, but why would you want to? In the Installation menu are you setting your provider in the top item 'Cable Network' using right arrow button on remote Prior to autoscan? Also are you sure you are in the Cable input socket at the back as it is easy to get it into the wrong socket? jbvid
Thanks jbvideo. the cable from n*l box is in correct input, i have all analogue channels . I just thought id mention KHz to MHz cos on autoscan KHz is the range scanned. eg 378250 KHz to 826250 KHz ( 64 qam) 6887 Ksps , 100% ,0 programmes found. I noticed on another post the frequency for say RTE ONE on n*l is 339.500, is this in KHz or MHz. every thing else i have done right but still have no programmes. I connected up my pace n*l box and pick up the digi channels no problem does this mean i have strong enough signal for the box pvr to work. Im at me wits end at this stage!! considering dumping the box in bin. forgot to mention should emu be on or off during autoscan , thanks for help Paul
Hi Which version of the firmware do you have in the box pvr at the moment? I am running E_ver 4.500 6th July in my Box pvr which works fine for me in Central UK so it may be worth trying that one, but several forum members in Dublin have been having a lot of problems scanning and getting zero with pvr's. I would think the emu would need to be off prior to a scan. jbvid
Hi . Im using _E_ v4506_15oct. The previous one I tried was _e_v4.0 but icouldnt get into secret menu with that one .Will try scanning with emu off and see what happens but Im not too hopeful! cheers ,paul.
Hi . I ran the scan again with emu off but no luck. Beginning to think there is a big problem with box pvr over here in Dublin . wish I lived in U.K.!!
I am having the same problem as you paul and i live in the uk. I have done everything everybody has suggested but nothing works. I have now emailed the person i got the box from to get full refund
Hi goggon27 its a crazy situation. I cant understand why the box works but not the pvr version. any good look with the refund
Hi all . Problem solved. I didnt have cable feed in cable input . I had it staight into ANT IN. Appologies to Scouser and thanks from Glasnevin . If anybody else makes the same mistake Ill gladly help them . Thanks again for a great forum, PAUL
No apologies nescessary as sometimes we tend to overlook the simple things good to see you up and running.
Hi Glad you got it sorted, but you would have got there quicker if you had read my earlier post to you. jbvid
