quick update
hello all, ok this morning i went to to my aunties with a dm500t and a dm500c to try get her hooked up,
currently she has chorus analogue cable(no antenna on roof or decoder) so i plugged in the dm500c and entered the manual scan settings that mgb provided and got nothing at all.no services found or something like that.
next, i plugged in the dm500t(i knew this wouldnt work as she had no antenna, but her next door neighbour has so i tried anyway) with the terrestrail.xml file uploaded on gemini 3.30 and again got nothing.
so i rang chorus for her, it turns out that she is paying 26 euros a month for analogue cable, she was told that she could upgrade to basic digital cable for an extra 3 euros per month so basic digital is ordered. i knew she had analogue but thought the digital would still come through because i myself only have a sub to analogue and the dreambox picks up the digital so i thought she might be the same.
anyway i asked the sales rep on the phone would the digital my auntie ordered be cable or mmds and she said it depends on the technician and whats available, it seems some people on the same road are cable and some are mmds. hmmm
so when the basic digital is installed ill head back down and try the 500T if they put the antenna on her roof, and if not ill try the dm500c and enter the settings mgb provided
will post results
cheers
