DM500c vm channel scanning

[silverdale]

I've set up a DM 500c on Commando 16 just as a tie me over box but I'm struggling to get bouquets for my area.


I've tried all sorts of Combo's in service searching section but after a lengthy scan I get bouquets but every regional channel is listed for fta in Entertainment.
You can select 6887 or 6952 but it has two
6952-2
6952-5
Or
CableUK MyLocal which is what I selected.
I selected my area NetID as well but still all the regional show up. I have done it before but I can't remember how.
Any ideas on how to scan and make bouqs for my area please let me know

I gave your backup a go but I'm struggling. I changed my netid all that but it just fails err. I tried commando 16 were it lets you update your local cables.xml then reboots. Then I tried the scan but nothing again . I even checked on my TiVo the netid and freq were correct plus I tried neighbouring netids.
It picks up loads of channels when I scan on full scan selecting my netid (nothing on one transponder with correct details) but like I said , it's picking up all regional and loads missing in factual and sports, basically the bouqs are all over the shop.

I gave up, it seems like its something to do with the signal strength. I eventually found an old backup for a few year back that was set to cable so at he least it should have played BBC SD but nothing, put away again for another day

I think it's a low signal level tbh. I have 2 old dm500c's and both did the same. I have a powered splitter and the Zgemma copes ok but not the dm500.
No hardship, I'm sure they'll flog on.
I've found 4 sat boxes in the loft I forgot about so I'll bundle them. If I get £40 for the lot it will pay for a combo zgemma.
Thanks spud
