Default Cant get the downstream to lock

Hi all,
I live in Cardiff and trying to get my ambit 200 to work. It just won’t lock onto the downstream. I got the ambit200 from a mate in ex cw. I used config tool to change it to pure. Changed the Mac to a working one, still won’t go pass the downstream, message I get is: in progress. I have set the freq to 331000000 which is rite. Annex to annex b and cm_tuner to 14, still wont work any ideas what to do next.

possable your frequency has changed. my modded modem is on 402750000 then just down the road like 0.2 miles away a m8s subbed has changed to 403000000 in the last few days, ive tried to lock onto this new freq but having no luck what so ever.

im in pure mate in notts. its probably worth going to a mates who is subbed nearby and having a look at his frequency. i could be wrong and it could be something totally different like a cabling issue maybe..

If you changed to pure settings as per your post, the frequency is not 331, its 40275.
