Virgin media code AP 52

[derbyramfan]

Hi, I have a contract with virgin media, the cable is split ,so goes into 2 seperate rooms. I can transfer the one box between rooms works no problem, decided to buy a second box, the box was purchased from same area as I am in.
Does not mater which room I conect box in all I get is AP 52 on box, not sure wether it is against there policy to do this, and this is why fault is happening. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOME.

you will need a card to match that box

It came with card, the box was working 10 miles away from me last week, still showing code AP 52.

[kermitthefrog]

all the new smart cards have to match the correct box your old cards will not work

hi m8 go into em on box and check all the settins r rite coz ap52 means incorrect def freq or simble, may be worth wile checking net id even though it as come from same area...

Should still boot to FTA without a card in, surely? AP52 is usually a sign of a knacked CIM or blown caps or similar, ain't it?

Cheers- AL

if its changed over to n3 im not so sure mate

[derbyramfan]

Thanks for your replies, just dont understand if it was working a week ago, why it will not boot up now, unless somehow you cannot operate two seperate boxes of one cable, even with a splitter??

[marshallar]

isnt ap52 a comms confirmation, often displayed during reboot and comms is re-established between the set-top box and VM
