Got new eurovox, scans upto 100% but got no channels?

[bradhore]

Bought a new urovox ex7000, ive plugged the power cable in, got the hdmi plugged into the tv to the eurovox, and got the outside eariel cable coming through my window plugged into the aerial socket on the back.
Ive done my first scan but it has picked up no channels at all after 100%! im sure ive got it all connected properly!
The may sound like a stupid question, but do i need a virgin box in order to find channels?

"got the outside eariel cable coming through my window plugged into the aerial socket on the back"

Um, you HAVE got a telepest / NTeL cable tv feed plugged in the back and not your tv aerial from the roof ?!!!

Plus, you havent changed the software on the box anyway - read the four stickie threads at the very top in red bold as they will tell you everything you need to know, and guide you through each step.

Just to note make sure your cable feed is plugged into the RF in and not the ANT socket at the back of the box otherwise you wont pick up anything.

yeap got my vm cable coming out the wall going into the RF. Still not found anything, my mate who works for vm did a signal scan to see if the vm cable was still live, and it is, so dont know why its not picking anything up. got it on 6.887 that right? i live in plymouth, we got eurobell/vm is this area.

[HiTeck]

[bradhore]

tried 6952, still nothing

if its a brand new box it needs fiirmware flashed to it

[bradhore]

i typed in 408khz and think its picking things up now :s :s

[HiTeck]

, you were scanning on the wrong symbol rate, nothing to do with "408khz", as said if you haven't updated the firmware you will get all the channels but they will be scrambled.

[bradhore]

when i click on a channel is says.. scrambled channel!!! whats this about? on every channel
