[albo400]

can anybody recommend any other boxes that will do "manual scans" currys and dixons have stopped selling 221t's . ive seen an alba stbx3 at argo will these work or ar'nt they any good? thanks

 

[PoloMint]

There is always eBay for picking up boxes that are no longer made/sold in shops. And you might save a few pounds too!

 

[BGonaSTICK]

Yes, they go a lot cheaper on eBay than the £130 I paid!

Rashen Frashen... (Is that how Mutley would spell it?)

Well Nick you have certainly started a thread here!! I have a Nokia 221T (soft 1.50) and have enjoyed reading through the threads. BUT for some reason neither Redhot or Xtraview is working for me. For redhot I inputed the 3 codes on Ch31 and when pressing opt did not get a picture. Also tried saving as Pooo1. Still blank. (After 11PM incidentally!). Went on and tried the different codes on Ch36 xtraview. Same result....but maybe this channel has nothing at 11+PM. This has got me fascinated ...if no results!! Any tips to correct my errors will be greatly appreciated! thanks

 

[CaptainGlassback]

I'm still struggling and now think that it is some confusion on my part over channel numbers!!! I go (Nokia 221T) into settings, channel, advanced man search, select ch no. Have put in 3 sets of pids for Red and Xtra and get nothing. When I tried UKTVGold pids I realised that I could only select ch nos in the range 21 to 69!! (Looks a bit like rf number range to me!). Can anyone help please? It's driving me bonkers!

 

[Lancelot]

Indeed it is an RF number range -

You will need to find out which channel (by trial and error maybe) it is being
broadcast on on your local transmitter.
I scanned 1 channel at a time (the 221 will do this) and saw what it found there.
When it came up with what I was looking for, I used that channel in the ADV scan and robert is your fathers brother as they say.

(you will have to save it first as P0xxxx) and enable that channel in the menu
then go through the channels as normal till you find it.

[BGonaSTICK]

You are soooo right. The RF values will differ with your geographical location.

Either do a full scan and see which channel it finds them on (and then use that in the manual setup as well), or go one at a time.

RedHot 11.00PM onwards, Xtraview finishes at 11.00PM IIRC

 

[Nick -D-vB]

XtraView and RedHot should always be on the same freq as [your] Channel 5,

the SDN multiplex frequency C5 is on changes from region to region but if you

tune your decoder to Channel 5 before you go into the PID menu you shouldn't

have any more problems.

 

[CaptainGlassback]

Gentlemen. Thank you very much for your tips which are getting me closer! (I can mess around with my satellite box and cams and cards without too much trouble...but this freeview thing is beating me!!). I'm into my 5th hour of reinstalling etc to try and see what the rf numbers are. They come down fast in about 5 chunks! I think that I am picking up from Crystal Palace. I have been banging in the pids on numerous numbers, mostly Ch 31 and 32. Ch 32 has CH5 on it. I must be making a really stupid error somewhere!

 

[BGonaSTICK]

If you're still stuck by tomorrow night, post again and I'll sort you out. Bit late tonight, and I still have a whole bunch of sat-stuff to fix

Find out for sure which transmitter you're on and we can look up the mux/channel details.

 

[rolfw]

It should tell you which transmitter in the information, if your Multiplex A is channels 32, then you are on Crystal Palace http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/tx_lse.html

 

[CaptainGlassback]

Thanks so much for all tips. At last I have got xtra going! Fortunately it is making a lot more sense now. Tuning to Ch5 and then going to adv search throws up Ch31rf no. which of course should be 32 for Mux A, (thanks Rolf). All the other locations that I have tried I have failed on for other channels. I read that pids don't change...or are some web pages listing pids out of date? Is a PCR pid the same as a CA Entitlement Control Message PID? Rooting around the net I found 1.6.2 software (thanks Nick?!!!). I had assumed that my problems with the 221T were due to it being a dodgy box. I now realise that mine behaves comparatively well!! Thanks again all.

Is it possible to change the PIDs on MCE2005 to get xtraview and red hot, I have the channels show up in the guide, I have tried with media portal and my theatre but with no success, any help would be appreciated, Cheers in advance

note:- I have got media portal to work with redhot and xtraview, see wot u mean about redhot, if I saw them on the street I would walk on by.
I was hoping to have had some sort of reply by now, I can't spend too much time on it myself as my missus has had 3rd kid, lifes a bit hectic, Why do women want more kids!!??

 

[dj4play]

I can't seem to get any audio! It's really bizarre - when it gives that confirmation window to ask whether you can see video and hear audio - it works! Both audio and video, but when I switch to the channel... the audio disappears. Can't seem to work out whats wrong.

I've entered the codes as: Video: 7070, Audio 7071 and PCR PID 2304.

Help!!

Thanks

Sadly, that may be the case.

Confirmed working on my Nokia Mediamaster 221T though

Hey BGonaSTICK!

Any chance of stating which version of Hardware/Firmware you have?

I have a:

Nokia 221T
=============

System Info:
HW Ver: 5
System Software: 221T - 1.1.2
Boot Software: 1.3
MHEG Lib: vM 1.0.1c

I have a problem is that I can input all of the channel settings in the Advanced menu, and able to preview them by pressing the OPT button. However, when I then come out of the settings menu to watch the channel - there is a fine picture, but *NO* sound!

Since the picture is fine, and the sound is missing - could there be an issue with the PCR not being correct?

If possible, can you be a mate and post when settings you input, and also which version of the box you have in case others (including me) need to upgrade the Nokia firmware?

Many thanks.

C.

Hey dude I fixed the problem. Download the beta version of the hardware which is some like 1.6.2 (available on the net somewhere). I did that, then reinstalled, entered the codes for Red Hot and voila! It worked.

[tango602]

when do you enter the pids?

 

[DaveH_DIH]

I found some people working on an MHEG keygen but I think they change the algorithm every few hours so I don't think it's very practical - I'll let you know if they crack it.

Cheers,
Nick

Do you know if they cracked it or not ???
