"timeout for tuner lock"

Double check netid in engineering/technical menu of official receiver.

Failing that, there is a thread title with " pure logs" part of name. there are some commands to run.

Hi all,

I got rid of my Technomate 3T nano Combo as I couldn't get cable to work. I bought a cheaper box to try from W-O-S, the OSMINI with cable tuner and this works with cable (although ABM doesn't find any channels a complete scan does). I bought a 2nd hand Technomate nano-se combo. This also doesn't work..

I don't really get how I can get the cheaper receiver to work but not the technomates.. I'm not too bothered about the Technomates not working but I really want to buy a decent Cable receiver for the Living Room. Ideally a VU Solo 4k. But don't want to buy it if I can't get the cable tuner to work.

If I bought from W-O-S would they allow me to return it if I couldn't get the cable receiver working?

Is it worth going for the Vu Solo 4k over the Duo 2 or Solo 2?

Thanks,

YO.

1st you should start your own post

So you have problems getting things to run and you are looking at a receiver that is still being bedded in, compared to 2 receivers that have been around and work?
... and if you don't have a 4K TV, even less reason to look at the VU 4K

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I did actually start this thread originally and the latest question follows on from my original enquiry.

I don't currently have a 4k TV but will be getting one later in the year. I want to buy a Receiver with cable tuners which is fairly future proofed. I understand that the 4k Solo will upscale 1080p feeds but none of the other boxes mentioned will do that.

Cheers,

YO.

Does Lraizer's cable plugin work for you? It works differently.

Hi Abu,

Thanks that seemed a bit complicated for me, I'll give it a go this afternoon though. I did try the Lraizer's cable plugin but I don't think it worked. I'll have a go at both with the Nano-SE.

Does this sound like the correct plugin? enigma2-plugin-extensions-autobouquets-cable_20160125_all.ipk

Cheers,

[abu baniaz]

Yes, that is the latest one IIRC.

Hi,

I enabled logs rebooted ran a Cable scan using he plugin. setup as "pure" because Oxford is not listed.

Screen shot and log attached. (As with the nano-3t the nano-se doesn't appear to have a signal) again. the osmini does.

cheers,

YO

Tried running the NIT_analyser and get an error:

 

[abu baniaz]

There is an error on your screen. I dont think you run while on a cable channel. Have you tried using the bouquets from the OS mini.

Also, I found the tuners on the TM to be quite sensitive. You may need to use an attenuator.

 

[Yellow Ostrich]

I did try an old NTL attenuator but it might be naff. I've just ordered an adjustable one.

 

[Yellow Ostrich]

Hi,

Just an update for you. I bought an attenuator. That did not work. Because it sort of worked (not with ABM but with full scan) on the osmini I bought a sundtek usb hybrid tuner that also sort-of worked on the technomate (again full scan worked but not ABM).

As a test I decided to do a factory reset. Did the reset but set up the Cable tuner first and it worked (full scan and ABM) on both the Sundtek USB tuner and the Hybrid tuner on the Technomate SE combo (wish I hadn't got rid of the 3T-Combo now )..

So I now have a technomate Se combo working with both satellite and Cable. Just need to get the Sat - DVB-C autobouquets mix to work.

When I scan with enigma2-plugin-extensions-autobouquets-cable_20160125_all. I select pure and it creates fine. Do you want me to run it again and attach the logs so that you can get the information for Oxford?

Cheers, and thanks again for your help.

YO

Won't hurt to have them to double check.

I just worked out the frequency is wrong for Oxford in the XML, it needs correcting, I posted it here.
