    is it mmds u got or true cable? if you have an antenna on the roof or your cable comes from a collective mast for the whole estate then is mmds and you'd need a box with a dvb-t tuner. 'the box' you have has a dvb-c tuner and works for chorAss true cable. do you have a subscription with chorAss?

    when you do a scan does it show any signal strenght with a green line? the box should work if it is analogue cable, as far as i know...have you tried 6875 full scan?

    that's good if he's going to change it...be aware of fakes on ebay...some of the boxes are clones! If you update them they are becoming useless! the original 'the box' should have 24 slots on the top of the box and the fakes are shorter, having only 17 as far as I know. There are some posts here about 'the box' from ebay andthe geniune sellers. Just do a quick serch and have a look around

    I think Ashbourne is analogue in a lot of areas and will not work. Send a pm to fergusrb as he has experience of installing certain boxes in this area.
