setting up for cable

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

been using sat for quite a few years with dm 800 and now with an amiko alien 2 triple tuner
with recent events am forced to move over to cable
i have hyprion v5 image on the am2 with s sat set up
would i need to change image for cable to work if so can you recommend one
i would also need to set up auto banquets which at the moment i use auto banquets e2 would this work or is this strictly for sat
any advice would be very greatfull
kindest regards

You wouldn't need to change image just need cable version of autobouquets

Ive been trying to do the same for the last 48 housrs. Would love to hear how that's done.

last time i tried auto banquets maker it failed to work
i have cable line in but scanning finds no channels
but a cable banquets might sort this thing about it as i have sat on atm
if you know where auto banquets could you point me in the direction please
many thanks for reply

sent you a pm @ dont do it it"ll hurt

you need to be on a working virgin channel....in the first place to get the Autoboquets C2 to work....i use this on my ultimo...i do a manual scan from the services searching menu....by entering my area details..let it scan a single transponder..takes about 3 secs....finds about 30 odd channels...i use the virgin media preview channel....then run the autoboquets C2 on that channel...takes about 7 mins to find all channels and creates the boquets..

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

what would be the transponder frequency ?
any idea

 

[johnny bravo]

It's the frequency of yr area I'm in the 643.000 area of Birmingham..think theres a list somewhere

Here

[johnny bravo]

@johnny bravo as above m80
many thanks

 

[johnny bravo]

You got it working m8?

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

no bud not getting any channels no matter what i try
edit @johnny bravo
think i worked it out
when scanning it looks to be scanning terrestrial which i think is normal arial and not cable

ok so reading the abc2 it says i need dvbsnoop
have downloaded does anyone know where i fpt it to ?

 

[cactikid]

unless you can change t--c which is cable you wont get it

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

not to sound disrespectful but thats what i'm trying to do
i have a hybrid tuner so not sure how to
thanks anyway bud

 

[cactikid]

where it says dvb/t try the > of remote to change to dvb/c

usb tuners are done that way.

 

[dont do it it"ll hurt]

in tuner config i have changed it from dvb-t to dvb-c but the fecking thing dont want to play
still searches dvb-t
gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr can see it going in the garden lol
doing a auto service scan to see if it goes through to c as well
many thanks bud
sorry for sounding patronizing i know you are trying to help

 

[cactikid]

not used a hybrid tuner but maybe it might change to dvb/c after.

what settings are you scanning with netid and qam in use and where?
