    Hi all


    using HDMU image and everything from the sat side is working fine but having trouble getting any cable channels ,bbc etc. All channels scanned in but get service unavailable check tuner. I have tuner set to europe,mid east,africa dvb c but when i do a complete scan nothing found. it only lets me select dvb t or t2. Am i missing a setting somewhere to change the t to a c for cable?

No option to select virgin uk ,other options for provider to scan but no virginuk

    As per their website Terms, You must have a valid subscription to "Legally" use their network, The engineers have every right to cut the cable if you do not have a valid subscription to their services, be it free or not, it is a closed network.


    I too know how much of a pain in the **** Virgin can be at times, I just keep my internet with them and therefore they have no reason to cut my cable (Oh nd the Internet speeds are much better anyway :P )

    Hi, Im hoping someone can help me.

    I have installed OpenATV 6.2, Wooshbuild and ABM 3.1 on my Golden Media Triplex however doesnt matter what setting I select for "Tuner A" I cannot get it to return any Virmin channels. I have tried the settings listed below.


    However these settings work fine on my Hyperion 4.5 image.


    Tuner Configuration:

    TunerType = DVB-C

    NetID = 00005

    Scan Type = Provider

    Country = United Kinddom

    Region = Virmin Media UK (All Systems) // tried Pure, telewest and exCW

    Force Legacy = no


    Manual Scan:

    TunerType = DVB-C

    Scan Type = User defined Transponder

    Frequency = 643

    Inversion = Auto

    Symbol rate = 06887

    Modulation = 64-QAM

    FEC = Auto


    ABM:

    Virmin (UK)

    Region = 00005 Luton

    FTA Only = no


    Cable Scan:

    TunerType = DVB-C

    Frequency = 643

    Symbol rate = 06887

    Modulation = QAM64


    Thanks in advance.
