    Default Whats wrong?

    Got a 1000 1b modded box today, it worked perfect in the area where i baught it.

    I changed:

    NetID to: 41051
    Frequency to: 666.750
    Default symbol rate to: 6.952

    every time i turn the box on i get=
    '16 Tunning Paramaters Currupt' in the engineers menu

    I get nothing, all black. Any1 had any similar probs

    Im thinking there may be a filter on my outside box, how can you tell. I get terestrial from the cable straight to the tv and a few scrambled transmissions but i get nothing from the digi box.
    -------------
    more data to help assesment

    - also recieved a customer error code B1010 & B1005

    - Page 12 - DVB Demod Status
    Unlocked and SNR Estimate =0.00

    - Page 13
    SNR Estimate constantly changes anywhere between 0 - 40

    - Page 5
    the vision carrier frequency is set at 471.250 and cant change, is thgis correct?

    Still keep getting
    '16 Tunning Paramaters Currupt'
    and
    '170 CM Broadcast Ranging Fail'

    Any ideas, i have no idea what any of these things mean

    have you got any connectors in the line? if so you may find they need checking/changing. also check the 'f' connector for shorts.
    had a very similar problem yesterday. on checking/changing the connector outside the house( which wasnt insulated at all) i got a much better signal and everything is now fine.

    CM Broacast ranging fail means that your talkback is cut mate and the CM (cable modem) cannot communicate, tuning params means the box doesnt have the channel map, try a forced update
