Setanta Frequencies

[nexatron]

Hi folks.

I have tried re-scanning my DM500C in an atempt to pick up the Setanta channels on their new frequencies to no avail. I understand that Setanta 1 has reappeared on BICS11. The trouble is I'm only picking up BICS1, BICS2, BICS21, BICS22, BICS24 - BICS30 on an automatic scan.

Does anyone know the frequency of the transponder that the Setanta channels are on for pure NTL in the Bishops Stortford / Harlow area so as I can attempt a manual scan?

Cheers in advance.

If your image has a bruteforce scan option, try that.

came in on mine at 163 mhz but as setanta not bics ex pure

tied a bruteforce scan on mine (running dk1.1) and still didn't find it. Also tried a manual scan on what i think is the correct frequency and nothing.

Is there something odd about setanta now its moved?

I tried something interesting, done a scan for setanta on a DB 600pvr with Pite image and it picked up setanta as a Bic channel. Then done a scan in the same property and feed on a Blackbox 500c using DK 1.1 image and it picked up the Bics channels but NO Setanta. I did the Brute force method. So it could be an image or box related problem that cant pick up these channels.

I have already tried a bruteforce scan using the dk1.1 image, but still no joy. I will have a go at a manual scan on 163 Mhz and try a different image. I will let you know how I get on. Cheers.

Interesting, what area are you in? What frequency did the 600pvr pick up the channels on?. Was that frequency in the cables.xml file on the DK 1,1 image?

Excw area, ill check the frequency later as at work. How do I check the frequencies on the cables.xml file?
Anyway like stated in my other post I used the frequency my 600 pvr picked up and used it on the 500c and Setenta then came up on a manual scan.
Im sure my 600pvr and 500c are using the same cables.xml file so I am wondering why the 600 pvr was then able to tune into setanta and not the 500c

Still no joy on the Setanta front. I tried 163 MHz with inversion on and off and a different image - DW 2.0 (what a sinner!). I also tried a scan on a Nokia dbox2 but no luck here either. The Setanta channels definately exist on some frequency or other, as I have a subbed Vbox on a splitter and although I'm not subbed to Setanta it's picking up the EPG. I just need to know what darn frequency it's on.

How do I check the frequencies on the cables.xml file?

OK here is how I would do it on my image UK05
in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit/services.xml look for a setanta channel in the listing and get the frequency from the first line of that block.

<transponder id="000a" onid="0031" frequency="346750" inversion="2" symbol_rate="6887000" fec_inner="3" modulation="3">
<channel service_id="03e9" name="Setanta Sports 1" service_type="01"/>
<channel service_id="03ea" name="Setanta Sports 2" service_type="01"/>
snip

</transponder>


in /var/tuxbox/config/cables.xml which is just a list of frequencies that auto scan uses, check to see if the frequency is listed. Hopefully it will be in your 600 list but not your 500 list

<transponder frequency="106750" symbol_rate="6952000" fec_inner="3" modulation="3"/>
<transponder frequency="107000" symbol_rate="6952000" fec_inner="3" modulation="3"/>
<transponder frequency="114750" symbol_rate="6952000" fec_inner="3" modulation="3"/>
<transponder frequency="115000" symbol_rate="6952000" fec_inner="3" modulation="3"/>
