  • Hi all
    Used Rf which is the top connection but cant tune anything in always comes back no channels found. Tried the bottom connection same thing . Tried autobouquets same thing. The splitter i am using is 1000mhz 4 way i can get a signal through splitter because if i connect my broadband connection to it my wireless router works through it, but i cant find any channels. Problem is the connectors on back are RF so i cant even put my broadband connection into it to see if that way i get any channels.


    All these problems occurred when i moved address couldnt get the quad plus to find cable or sky channels or even operate my motor so sent box back was tested and it was fine. I just cant seem to pick any channels up. Also which cable are you guys using i am just using regular sat cable and making sure inner does not touch outer cable and then using RF connector to connect. I am not having any luck at finding channels always comes back no channels found , it doesnt matter what method i use manual scan auto scan or autobouquets always the same no channels.


    Desperate for help any help appreciated please.


    Thanks

  • i would do a full scan with out using ABM


    the problem you may have is you still have the wrong net id


    i live in a small town in the northwest,near manchester so i used them, no
    use a wigan one still same no


    then in the end it was preston2 that gave me all the channels, preston is 20 miles away

    ABM and AB cable uses the headends names. It would be an impossible task to list every town/borough/village. Best to check the official receiver for the netID.


    AB cable has an extra facility for pure areas, this is because they only have details for the area.
    AB cable will work while on any active cable channel. ABM must be able to tune to the frequency listed in the provider file.
