thanks for the reply.I havn't done a scan because i cant find an option anywhere in any of the menus/sub-menus that allows me to scan.The closest i have got is to set my location.

Push ok
Scroll to the nearest location to you
And push ok again
Box will reboot and be ready to scan



Dbox Service menu service scan

Thanks,plasterer.I found the scan menu.When i go into the scan menu these are the settings:-
Scan for services = tv and radio
Bouquet = update
cable provider =cableuk sym6952
scan mode = complete
frequency = 666750(this in yellow and i can't change it)
modulation= qam-auto """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
symbol rate = 6952 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
cable = vm """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
netid = 41060 (this is white and can be changed)
section scan (w/o messages) = on
I have tried to scan on various settings but it only takes about about 5 seconds and doesn't find any channels at all but says the scan is complete successfully.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ryan.

I am in Bolton,it used to be c+w years ago then it changed to N*L then VM.In the location list it has options to set Bolton N*L/C+W and also it has Manchester N*L/exC+W.I tried both but the same,nothing.
Thanks
