Err 20

[chookey]

Hello Everyone,
I did a 4010 with a mosc card for a workmate.He lives about six miles away from me in Coventry.The box works perfectly here but came up with Err 20 at his house. According to what I have read this means that there was a timeout in receiving the nit.
The 4010 is a Davic and should set the network i.d automatically, assuming that his is different to mine. By the way everything I have read states that my network i.d is 00019, whereas the box sets it to 00016 and works flawlessly.
After the error message there was a screen saying that channels were unavailable and to check all cables. Everything was in order. The remote wouldn't operate the box either. My mate has a subbed box so I didn't go into the eng. screen. Anyone have any ideas please?

Regards.............Chookey​

Hi,

Might be worth putting his post code in Here just to check?
Unless you have already then not to sure?

Thanks Satch,

Are you connecting the box through a splitter? Try it directly on the incoming cable.

Hi All,

@chookey don't really know then M8, what have you tried?
Do you think it may be worth pulling the red jumper if pure nthell?
what do you get without a card in?

Err20 Can't scan for frequency.

Bammy I tried it with and without the splitter, still the same. Satch I never tried pulling the red jumper, too many vodka amd red bulls the night b4. I brought it straight back where it works perfectly.Had I known at the time what error 20 was I would have spent more time on it.
You may have something there Bammy. The short piece of coax from the spltter to the cable feed is a bit narrow and the f connectors don't make a good fit. Tried it without the splitter but I had trouble screwing it up, vodka and red bull. I will try again later this week and let you all know the outcome.

Thanks for your help lads............Chookey​

Just thought I would follow up on this one. My workmate has asked me once again if I could supplement his subbed box with a modded one. Found out a while ago that the reason it gave error 20 was that although we are only 6 miles apart and share a CV postcode, there is a difference in frequency. Had I changed the freq from 803 to 811 the net i.d would've set itself from 00016 to 00019 and all would've been cushty.
I was really green when I first posted this problem, but I have learnt a lot since then, thanks to the members here. I think we should all post the outcomes instead of just saying, " thanks all sorted now":Cheers:
