maybe outdated cables.xml

The box set up for ex-TW was perfect yesterday, just when I tried to update the channel list nothing came in? Thanks deejay, will look for a later cable.xml, I guess they'll need to match the area?

From what I remember, if you have a working transponder and do a network scan, it will pick up all the transponders in the NIT and search them all.

I found a net id list post from Dec '17, input with freq' & sym', fast scan & it found all the channels except the one I wanted to update & some others too, why? For the ex C&W box will I need a new cable.xml for that area?

Probably need a newer .xml.

I am in EX-CW and had the same issue last month, some channels moved onto a new transponder that wasn't in my scan, you are best running dvbsnoop to find all current active frequencies in your area.

In my situation, the new transponder showed up after a new scan under TV-Headend, I simply looked at the frequency details in TV-Headend of the new transponder, and copied the details over to the scan xml file on my DM800se, a new scan on my 800 then found the channels I was missing.

I am guessing you do not use TV-Headend, so your best solution is to read up on dvbsnoop, run that binary on your box and use the log details to edit your cables.xml file with missing transponder frequencies.

@satsearch, I had a quick look at dvbsnoop, (is it part of the dbox2 sw?) think it may take a while to grasp. "some channels moved onto a new transponder" When was this, I had a look for a recent cable.xml file but only old ones. Area is Bolton 41060

Have you tried this one from the oe-alliance github? It should be up to date.

https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-al...src/cables.xml

Scroll down to your area and to the "Virgin Media (All Systems)" area and copy and paste to make your own xml.

Do you have a legit box so see the frequency of the missing channels?

Failing the above, have a read of this post.

You could use Lraizers script and a copy of dvbsnoop, for a dbox you will need the ppc api3 version, which I have included in this post.

Just ftp the single dvbsnoop binary, and Lraizers script into /tmp, set permissions so both are executable, and run the script, after some time a new cables.txt file will be created in /tmp, use the details from that to create your own custom cables.xml.

Ok will try the first option first. Should I copy the data from both 'my area' and 'all systems' into one .xml file (saved as cable.xml) created in notepad++ ?
