Your Going To Kill Me!!!

Hi all,

As a total newbie to DB's I thought I'd post and get up and working rather than stumble along and get frustrated.

I have a DB 7025 and Telewest, I have flashed my DB with the latest Gemini image but when I connect the TW cable to Tuner A IN and do a scan it finds nothing!

I have not inserted any cards, it's just simply plugged in straight out of box.

Anyone help?

[me_ashman]

is this dvb-s or dvb-c cable?

Hi you can,t do a auto scan with gemini 190 and 2.00 you can try 170 or you can do a manaual scan with 2.00 put first three digit of your frequency and correct symbol rate telewest is 6952 ****

God this is a whole new world!!!

OK I have been looking all order for the frequency, but let my start be telling you want I have and what I have donw so far.

Latest TVDrive STB and appropriate subscription.
I have falshed my DB 7025 with Gemini 2.

Now to the manual setup of frequencies etc.

I'm in Preston, Lancshire (not sure is this has any bearing on things. but I have seen people quoting where they are from). does anyone had a list of the information I need and ideally an idiots guide!

Can I get this information from my TVDrive STB or cable modem?

Thx for your help so far....

Thanks dreamer786, in answer to your question "Cable" I don't have sat (unless you mean sat channels?)

Both the tuners are cable tuners (I am pretty sure of this, they are DVB-C)

Thx again......

OK,

Used those freq settings and it did manage to find a few things but nothing like as many as I have when using my TVDrive.

I have not put my smartcard from the TVDrive in my DB7025 for the simple reason I got this box so I could use it as a second STB upstairs, I did as the seller (web shop) if it would do this and he said yes!

Is there something else I'm missing?

Hi, Dreamer786

Looking good, finding channels ;o)

Now I am going to fit a HDD very soon (tomorrow) so I have a few questions

Can I FTP movies to the HDD? if so what directory do I put them in?
Do they have to be a specific format? currently they are mixed Divx,Mpeg

Same questions as above but for mp3 files and still pictures

And one final thing that might save a lot of posts, is there a manual for the "gemini project" I'm sure most of my questions will be answered in there?

Thx in advance and for helping get it working at all..

UPDATE:
Right it finished finding over 331 channels, however quite a few don't work like BBC2 but others do like BBC1, any ideas? still not inserted my Telewest Smartcard and don't want to.
