No Channels found

[enjoliveur]

Hello,
I just received my ipbox with a dual DVB-C receiver.
It seems to work all right except from receiving no channels.

I connected it to the cable tv outlet (numericable), to the TV and powered it on.
It seems to be working OK, I can play Pong for example :D.
But when I get to do a Channel Scan I get "No Channels found"

For example with my old cable tv tuner I had to enter a frequency and a network number before the Channel Scan would start.
Do I have to enter these data somewhere?
Are they somehow related to Frequency/Symbol Rate?
I tried putting the frequency and some Symbol Rate but it said something like frequency incorrect

Am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas?

Well, this morning all of a sudden it started counting channels!:cheer:

In total despair I tried a multi region scan and lo! France is not in the "Western EU" region.
I don't know (yet) in what region it lies (Slovak, Holland or Germany) but it's *not* in "Western EU"
I'll check in later with the details

try installing Enigma 2, then you can enter your symbol rate for your area, then scan manually in steps of 100

I will consider that later, for now I just scanned "all regions". It gives you a lot of crap which you have to delete.
Awkward way of working but at least it works

I think it's weird that such a nice machine comes with such horrible documentation and weird it is that the first thing people tell you to solve a problem is to change the firmware ...

aftermath, still trying to pull bits of information out from the forum about this box and you seem like the font of knowledge(!)... is installing enigma2 good for dvb-c viewing? (or is it solely sat?)

i am in UK ... and am looking to get a dvb-c HD box that does PVR... will this box do the trick w enigma2??

is there a particularly good image available for cable that you could recommend? as i dont have my box yet i cannot test but i was guessing that all the images for dvb-s have cable features built in too? - not seen anything to back this up.

also was wondering what does the NLB stand for!!? as i cant find the full decoded acronym in the forum anywhere for this image!

many thanks for any response in the right direction....

i would recommend the latest PKT e2 image 0.6.0 it has the latest video fixes so you get a much better picture than previous images.

You can use it for dvb-c but needs a manual scan, not like DGS based images that already made to just scan automatically , but the manual scan is easy anyway.

NLB in NLB images stands for No Limits Board

...thats an awesome tip ;) will look in to this more, seems like a great start point!
