Oxford 2 looks to be ex-C&W? How long does BF Scan take- half an hour, or a few seconds? Nokia or Sagem?
Sounds like a weak signal issue to me, so let's have your BER / SNR / SIG approx readings from a working encrypted channel running your 'old' services file please.
Lastly, have you tried BFS with the box connected directly to the incoming feed, with a known-good F-to-Coax lead?
Cheers- AL
Oxford 2 as far as I know has always been ntl and I have a Nokia x2.
Not suspecting a weak signal as never had scanning issues prior to recent. BFS takes about 1/2 hr going through 300+ transponers, Fast scan fails in about 2 secs, though when it did work took about 30 secs.
Readings are :
BER - 150 SNR - 62K, SIG - 40K
and yes have tried scanning BFS and fast scan direct to incoming feed with known good connector.
Very puzzling , and very appreciative of any help you can tender
cheers, Freddy
