Freeview (DVB-T) no signal

I suppose I should have asked "Which mast is your aerial pointing to"?
That is a question I can't answer lol, it was years ago we had the ariel installed so thought settings on TV my give a clue to the transmitter but that doesn't either from what I can find. According to Freeview.co.uk I should be using emley moor
 
hi folks, having to use the H9 as my terrestrial tv tuner (tuner on tv not working) I've not installed ABM yet
just did a tuner scan using the on board image scan looks like its picked up most/all the terrestrial channels, but they are not in the "normal" list order (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4, etc etc) so i used dreamboxedit created a new bouquet and set them up in a sort of order there
will ABM setup the channels in the "normal" order or would i have to play about (like above)

In autobouquetsmaker choose about latest version is Autobouquetsmaker 31.

In autobouquetsmaker goto configure change show DVB-T frequency finder to yes then green to save.

Go down to DVB-T frequency finder and run it.

The frequencies will be probed. This will take a while.

At the end of this stage of the process, a new ABM provider will be created. Names will vary. In this.


Disable the "official" ABM provider called "Freeview (UK)". It isn't working fully for you, so no point using it.
You can re-enable it after the ABM file has been updated with the details you upload.

Select the newly created provider and then run ABM (perfom an ABM scan).


The new provider file will be called terrestrial_finder.xml and located in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers
To save you having to run the scan again, save the file.

Better still, submit a pull request on Github so that details can be added to ABM.
If not possible or unsure, upload to forum zipped
and someone will do it.

that probably just the terrestrial_uk_freeview.xml you need but you still need to know what transmitter you need to set for your area in ABM there is also another plugin called terrestrialscan in downloadable system plugins.

So you have used the frequency finder option? You won't be able to use update provider option as the file doesn't exist on GitHub. If ABM scan is now working grab the new named file in usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

Upload it here and @Abu Baniaz can update the terrestrial XML file on GitHub.
