First time scan - 0 channels found - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hey folks

Just after getting a starview box-t as thats what was recommended as it seems I have chor*s mmds.
(I had recently got a starview 3 but as I live in Thurles, Ireland that was finding no channels and was told that box was reason (its a MMDS mast that feeds into cable system)

Now after testing the Box-T just there using auto scan it also say "0 Program found"

Tried inputting new codes (cho*us and n*l) but once again no channels found and doing manual scan produces same results.

Any ideas what else I can try?

Just a question to add to the above instead of creating a new thread.

I presuming my above problem is to do with my connection being analog and not digital but I am unsure of this. My current basic connection has sky channels i.e. sky one and sky news so I presumed there a was a digital connection in there somewhere though I may be wrong.

Is there anyway to be sure?

it appears the irish codes went down today but there has yet to be a release for new ones x

Starview is a Digi box no good on analogue.

Hi sorry if i'm doing some thread hijacking. I received a star--view box-t yesterday. I receive chorus digital on what i assume is a mmds signal but when I do the automatic search i get zero channels. I'm in Dublin if that makes a difference and am receiving ch**us basic digital package. From what I read when I bought it I should have all stations automatically loaded and I have hooked it up as per the manual. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
