Cable set up

[scottj130208]

Got a solo 2 and a usb cable tuner can't get any channels when I scan even with net id put in displays 0 channels found lost here new to cable scene

Try a provider scan after adding a cables.xml to the box

[scottj130208]

Tried that still no channels found really stuck on this

If you have a Vermin feed you should get something with a brute force scan make sure its a step scan and not a band scan.

I'm in the Wirral think net id is 41048 have put this in and also tried brute force still no channels found

[andy91]

You get choices of bands and steps so exit out of steps then press automatic scan. You will get countless failed transponders but if you get the odd ok it will scan over 500 channels in but do a step scan and not a band scan.

Scanned to 100 % automatic scan and 0 channels found

You need updated services. xml and cables.xml
once these are added it will find channels..........Paul

[scottj130208]

Have added cable.xml thought that's all I needed to add where do I get services.xml from

[andy91]

I added xml and got nothing but errors when I scanned when it was scanned on bands. You need to scan on steps. If you're doing that its you're feed.

Scanned on steps still 0 channels even tried my dad's cable feed same local area still 0 channels I'm in the Wirral think net id is 41048 not sure on frequency really stuck here what I can try next

[andy91]

Sounds like you have a duff tuner. If you definitely have a feed it will scan something in whether you have netid or not.
Can you get hold of any local bouquets for your area and try them using Dreambox Edit?
What image are you also using? Im guessing in tuner config its picking up the tuner?
I would try the cable image in downloads.
The mistake I first made when I did a few boxes was the bands and the steps. Took me a while to realise that if you put net id and s/r in you have to exit from steps then scan and all you get is error at the end..
But if you say you have tried that it sounds like a tuner or data problem,

I'm using vix apollo it's a usb tuner shows up in config menu shows up vermin scan still 0 channels really lost with this one the tuner works fine on terrestrial as I have tested scans channels and works fine so can't be the tuner must be the set up or feed

[cactikid]

the cable xml file is in the cable side and not the sat side and you do have a live feed?

what usb is it as the only working one is the sundtek that is approved with an e2 box.

Got a sky dvb t330 which is fully compatible with vu solo 2 and vix the .xml file have put this in bar tux box satellites .xml is within the same folder so not sure how I configure this I'm fine with satellite but not with cable
