I posted a solution to this on another board - your cables.xml is ok but the location setting isn't - here goes:
so the important changes are NetID (42755 to 42753) and frequency (2910000 to 291000)
this has worked for a few people
Thanks for posting, it didnt work for me. Maybe it is since I may have changed my cables.xml from the original one.
Do you know what the netid means?
How did you come up with this solution? I see those numbers quoted on afterdawn from ages ago.
I found my cables.xml file in the share/tuxbox folder (I mistakenly looked in var/share/tuxbox) but I cannot edit it via tuxbox commander, I tried changing the rights but still cannot edit it.
Net id is the Scan settings for your Area

OK, I will try with fast scan enabled again. If that doesnt work I will try with the original cables file. I am still unsure what net id does, does this tell it to scan from 291 to a certain frequency, say 500, with increments of .25?
e.g. is it scanning 291, 291.25, 291.5, 291.75, 292 etc
,I would like to know what is going on.
The frequency that is not scanning for most people is 418.25 I altered a cables file to 418.1, 418.2, 418.3 and it picked it up. So I am now thinking should I have a giant cables file, 100, 100.1, 100,2 - 999.8, 999.9.
This should cover all possibilities, it might take all day to scan, but no need for a laptop, and no need for tuxbox commander. people could leave it running all day when going to work.
I am going to test this out, I did one 1/5th that size before and it took a few hours. It might work on fast scan though.

If you are putting back your original cable.xml, dont forget to delete scan.config in var/tuxbox/config. Unplug the Dbox and then plug back in. The Net ID was incorrect for 291000 as it corresponded to 363000 and hence the conflict. Editing the Net ID allows it to scan the correct 13 TPs for your area. And as per the original post regards editing the setmylocations file, it does work on Blade Quad in Dublin.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer. - Douglas Adams
so the important changes are NetID (42755 to 42753) and frequency (2910000 to 291000)
I put on a fresh andromeda and did the change and scan and it worked fine. I checked the scan.conf and it had the netid=42753 in it. While on my own andromeda no matter what region I pick the netid line does not appear.
So instead of changing the setmyloactions.config I am just editing the scan.conf and added in the missing line. This works and I have a mate who did it via tuxbox commander and it worked fine, all 145 channels back. Thanks a lot for your help. Thanks to Paul & satsmo too.
Below is the guide I made for my mates to fix their boxes via tuxbox commander. Much of the guide is robbed/edited from the previous keylist.txt editing guide. NOTE: this file is for dublin N*L
There are 2 things to do, edit a file, and rescan. In future all you should need is the rescan, they will start messing about more often now but a rescan is very simple compared to editing the file.
EDITING THE FILE.
1. Press the blue button and you will be in the features menu, scroll to Tuxbox Commander, press OK. You should now be looking at the files on the D Box.
2. Scroll to TUXBOX and press ok, If you don't see TUXBOX, scroll to VAR and press OK. If you do not see VAR then scroll to <DIR> in the top upper left of the screen & press ok. Either way you want to be in TUXBOX
3. When you have clicked OK on TUXBOX scroll to CONFIG & press OK
4. Scroll to SCAN.CONF and press 4 on your remote control (SCAN.CONF will not be visible, you must scroll downwards and it will be on the next page). ***It is important that you don't press OK when you scroll to SCAN.CONF , you must press 4 in order to edit the file. If you pressed OK in error , just press the Home button and start again.
5. After pressing 4 you should be looking at a screen with the following (or similar)
(Note if you see weird boxes at the end of the lines press blue once)
You must change this to look like this (there may be a new line to be entered netid=42753, also if it doesnt say "DUBLIN FAST" do not worry this does not matter. it could be UK sym6887 or something else)
To change them just scroll down to the line and press OK, then move the cursor right to move across to where you want to enter numbers using the numbers on the keypad, press until the number appears, just like a text message. If entering the same number twice you have to press right to get to the next space, just like texting. Press OK to edit the line, and OK again when finished. To change scan_mode=1 just highlight the 0 and press the up arrow to get it to show 1.
To enter the "netid=42753" line scroll down to "satCount=0" and press green, this puts in a new line above it. If the line is already there just change/enter the numbers
Press ok on this new line and you can edit the line. Again letters are like a text message, the bottom of the screen shows which number will give the correct letter. The = is got by pressing number 1 3 times.
6. When you have changed all the lines, press the Home button, it will ask you do you want to save changes, scroll left to yes and press OK.
7. Now press home again get back to the TV screen.
8. Press the D-box button and scroll to service and press OK.
9. Scroll to "RESTART NEUTRINO" and press OK. This will take about 10 seconds and then go back to the TV screen. now you are ready to scan.
SCANNING FOR CHANNELS.
1. Press the D-BOX button, scroll to service and press OK.
2. Scroll to SERVICE SCAN and press OK.
3. Scroll to START SCAN and press OK.
Now all the channels should scan in, there should be approx
TV-145 RADIO-35 DATA-9
4. When the scan is finished keep pressing home until you are back to the TV screen, flick around if there is nothing on screen, if there is still nothing try switching it off and on again.
All the channels will be back but some will have moved to the very end, around 136 onwards, these can be moved back using bouquet editor in the service menu.
