What image are you running on the box? Did you set your location using the blue button then going to Location Scanning (or set location, I can't remember off hand)?

When you get to the service scan menu, change the cable area to Brute Force. The areas show up as Vermin Media, Chorus, MMDS etc.

Change where it says "cable provider"

sa5hy · 20-08-09, 01:30 PM
