Hi,
I bought a second hand virgin V+box(samsung) with paired card. we subscribe to virgin and have a hd box in the front room and a standard box in the back room. my idea was to but the standard box in the bedroom and the second hand hd box in the backroom. When i plug the box in i get fault code ld20/ld30 i know its not the signal as i connect the old box back and its fine. Is it something to do with ip address? and can this be changed?
Thanks

Hello bally1066, welcome to the forum.

Enter the engineer's menu and check the signal levels. If other boxes work when connected to the feed, i'd say the tuner is on it's way out on the HD box.

Forget it, you are wasting your time. Apart from that, the 2nd hand box belongs to Virgin not yourself.

I suggest that you phone Virgin, pay the appropriate, and get them to sort out what you require.

Ld20 = wrong net id

Like Robbo says, forget it. The cable hack is dead.
