i guess u know the snr has to be 55000+ to see a channel u could try a booster to see if that helps.....or try first cable connection, no splits..

Lakey pro, the box was working until the last time VM changed the encryption, I had the box reflashed & it came back with Lakey pro, since then the box has not worked properly, it would work fof about an hour then the picture would freeze, no sound. the only thing I could do was unplug the box. the guy who flashed it said the tuner was knackered so I bought a refurbed tuner & had it fitted by a electronics engineer. All the bouquets are still there i.e says bbc 1 but just says waiting for time.

There we have it, the story so far.

tried rescanning for channels?

Post a bootlog.

Took the log when the box was not connected to "VM". Is that ok, if not let me know & I will do it again.

The tuner is not registering so it has not been replaced properly or they might have damaged some tracks when lifting the old one off
[frontend.cpp:CFrontend:62] /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: No such file or directo
ry
the bootlog should contain the following line if the tuner is registering ok
DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (VES1820 based DVB-C frontend)...
Also the bootlog has the following error
[camd] CA_SEND_MSG: Remote I/O error
which usually means the sec chip or something around the sec chip is faulty or a dry joint on that area as the box was working in a fashion before you had the tuner changed.
