Copy and paste that mate

 

Who was your provider before Virgin ?? TW or EX&CW if it was one of them scan the box on 6952 and not 6887

 

ive always been with virgin thats the only provider apart from sky round here

 

the

the box wont even load the free to air programs on it

 

check your cable is screwed on properly...sounds like no signal,no pick up channels..troubleshoot the problem...is your braodband provider virmin..if so,is it working?

 

yeah the cable is fine ive got the lowest package from them so i dont know what to do next

 

did you try scanning all of the providers and make sure you are scanning on your main feed from your wall

 

yes ive tried just about everything that i can think of

 

Make sure you have box flashed successfully. In menu check firmware version is 1.03.
Then do as E45 said; auto-scan on 6952 sym.rate

 

ive tried that and still nothing ive even tried at a friends house and still didnt work

MENU--UTILITY--SYSTEM INFORMATION; Is Carling 1.03 firmware shown on list here, YES or NO.
If not flash box with 1.03 firmware
Make sure co-axial TV cable is connected to correct connection on SV 7, cable-in I think.
Scan using sym.rate 6952, QAM-64, if not scan 6887 sym. rate QAM 64

thanks for replying right it show ( sw: CARLING-1.03.0-UK (OCT 15) in the system information and ive rescanned on 6952 no channels shown and rescanned on 6887 no channels shown. could it be the box that isnt working???

 

If your co-axial TV Provider cable definitely has a live feed coming thru, then it sounds like
a faulty box. Do you have an old cable box or PROV box to connect to co-axial TV cable. Check
for channels on one of these boxes to make sure you have Prov. signal

 

i only have a ols starview 4 box would that be able to show if i have a live feed to my house

 

That will do fine, make sure co-axial is in right connection. Channels 1 to 5 should have a
picture BBC1,2,ITV1 etc. If not do auto-scan for channels.
