Startup Issues - SL1000

[DrTim]

Hi,

Could someone help, I have bought a Eurovox SL1000 that had the FTA software on, however only 8 channels came up after the deep scan. I uploaded the latest firmware DARX but it still only finds those 8 channels (eg. Anim*l Pl*net etc.)

is there something I am missing?

thanks,
DrTim.

hi
reflash and do another power/deep scan.
make sure all cables are in well (did u use firmware from this site?)
good luck.

[DrTim]

thanks, have tried that now but still same result. Have used the latest 24.02.09 DarX firmware.

in order for it to find any TV channels do you have to be signed up to a basic package as currently only on Phone & Bband but previously connection had TV?

[DrTim]

When performing a deep scan it only picks up 1 frequency & then 10 channels. This was the case with the original FTA firmware & have tried Oct 2008 & Feb 2009 versions with the same result. Any help appreciated...

broadband and TV come down the same line so you are OK
have you got the cable feed in the rf in socket
are you scanning on the correct symbolrate

EDIT : camely beat me to it

[DrTim]

i've tried the 3 symbol rates & still no joy.

[smoggy]

you only need to scan one symbolrate (if you say where your nearest big town is someone will tell you it)
on powerscan are you setting start frequency 100 and stop 870 step 8

London.

Thanks, will try again.

[smoggy]

most of London is 6952 but its a big area and has 2 different symbolrates, you need to be more specific

[DrTim]
