Trouble setting up TV Drive in Telewest area - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Im having trouble setting up a tv drive in a telewest area. The default freq has been set to 531.000 as is should be for that area, but tuner A will not lock to dat fequency. It locks first of all, but then scans through other frequencys not locking on. Tunners B + C lock to the corrrect frequency straight away and stay locked.

I was unable to do a net id change and think this may be why.

Does anybody know whats likely to cause this and whether it would prevent a net id change??

Thanks.

You probably need to fit a blank chip stevo, V-application is a good tut you install it, there are a few more, also in the complete tool kit theres 3 things, all in other cable tv.

Cheers red, i've done plenty of these before mate im jus having trouble with this one in a telewest area, the chip was blanked before hand and i set the default freq, but it wouldn't reboot after inserting the atmeg, which is defo paired. i am just concerned why tuner A wont lock?? it seems to be causing a prob.

Thanks.

It's the NetID-I always reprogramme now before putting back as the atmega is a nightmare in TW for some reason.

Do you mean program the chip with a dump for that area instead of using an atmeg??

Yes mate-just read it and use the TVDRIVE TOOL to set your new ID-Done 4 now, all with no problems. Had a nightmare with my 1st one trying to set with atmega-for some reason it wouldnt work
