Not sure how many channels you should get but you won't get as many as N*L so the 40 odd that you picked up may be about right or you could get a few more but not much.
turn it off for a few moments and unplug it and try an autoscan again if you still only get 40 odd then i think co19 is right any how missus wants me ; have to go
I dunno if this will get you more channels but its worth a try Try do manual scans on these frequencies 379.000 387.000 395.000 427.000
Thanks Celtic, Will try this later Just to ask.. would bad reception on the 13 or so basic channels I had before cause soe of the digital channels not to show up ?
Yes if the cable is damaged or poor quality it will cause this to lose frequencies I think BBC channels run on freq 411.000 , Have a look though your list and see what frequencies are not working
Hi Celtic Right, this is what I am getting on the frequencies from manual and automatic scan 274 - failed 282 - failed 290 - failed 298 - failed 306 - failed 314 - failed 322 - RTE 1, RTE 2, TV3, TG4, Eurosport 371 - Sky News, Discovery Channel, Discovery Real Time, Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2, Sky Comedy, Sky One 378 - failed 387 - PPV Channel, Playboy, UK Style, More 4, Bravo, History, Biography, E4 394 - Sky Family, Sky Drama, MGM, Sky Sports Xtra, TCM, Living TV, VH1 410 - UK Docs, The Box, Bloomberg, Film 4, Sky Modern 427 - failed 444 - Sky 2, E!, EWTN, MTV Hits, Nick Junior, Setanta 2, Setanta News It does seem weird that channels like BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky Premiere, setanta 1 etc. are mising
Ok sems like a few freq are not scanning , at least your getting somewhere now , try this method Menu > Factory Setting PIN 0000 OK to delete Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on English > Installation Choose Provider etc Automatic Scan Press OK Channels found Exit Press Menu then 1570 Turn EMU key ON Exit , exit , exit
Hi Celtic Tried that but still the same thing. Seems the lower frequencies just won't scan. I can try it in a friends house where there is digital working already next week if there is nothing else I can try right now ? Thanks a million for your help on this
Woohoo got it working !! The frequencies were completely different but I manually scanned all through the range and have 90 channels now !! Thanks for all the help guys
Glad you got all your channels Just for future references , what freq did you manage to get channels on
Hello all, I hope someone can help me. Im also located in a chorus area in South Dublin. Im not mmds and i have tried all the frquencies as above with the emu on. its a new starview box. I tested it in a friends place(ntl area)to see if the box was genuine. It loaded all the channels immeidately so there is nothing wrong with the box. All i am getting when i run an automatc scan is "nothing found" repeatdly. I have also trie manual scans without any success. I also imputted the Chorus key codes through the 1571 menu. My automatcic scan pick ups the chorus frequencies it self but finds nothing. Could it be a poor area I live in for this or is there something simple im missing. p.s my cable is plugged into the wall lol
Make sure the cbale from the wall is plugged into "Cable INput" Here are the latest frequencies for Ch**** True Cable: It is area dependent so not 100% these are for Dublin. 6875 symbol rate Provider ID 5E 01 274.000 371.000 282.000 378.000 290.000 394.000 298.000 410.000 306.000 427.000 314.000 444.000 322.000
Cheers for the quick reply Celtic. Im not at home now but cable was defo plugged into cable input and I have tried all those other frequencies with that provider as I had read somewhere where you posted that before!
As far as i know its chorus- thats who the bill is paid to anyway! Im not long in the place so im not that sure on the whole TV background of the area..I did try to scan it on NTL before but not since i had it working in a friends house on a NTL connection. Im not too sure if that makes a difference but i'll give it a go later. cheers
