Please help im not very technical i have a amiko mini hd combo box with a vmserver line on it.
it shows that its connected ok but all channels are scrambled.

Try restarting the oscam on your box !
Menu/setup/softcam.cl /softcam manager then restart ! See if that works first

thanks Soarsy1 i dont think there is a softcam manager on the amiko box its not a linux box

 

[gravehead]

there is no softcam manager on an amiko
try turning off your router then your amiko, wait a couple of minutes turn your router back on, when router fully on turn amiko back on.
where did you get your line from?

 

[johnnycoghla]

got the line from a guy with the box. It has been working for months. its to a virgin media server. still shows connected OK. but channels have gone scrambled.
i think its something to do with re scanning the channels on a different frequency

Strange that as I've got amiko alien 2 triple tuner with softcam manager on it running vix4 e2 project

did you get box from ebay, if you did you have probably been scammed
you could try and get a test line from here - recommend-good-cable-pay-server-request-only if only to rule out a dodgy line

 

[johnnycoghla]

tried reboot same thing
server connected ok.
channels scrambled

Thanks Gravehead didnt get it on ebay. the box was working up until christmas. server is still up. seems to be a channel problem

 

[soarsy1]

I thought it was the same set up for the image as the vix4 ! I Will have another look at it !

try here - amiko-mini-hd-combo-tutorial

 

[johnnycoghla]

Menu - Installation - Cable Installation

Insert the first 4 digits of your net id into the frequency, so 50268 would become 502.6

Insert your symbol rate

flick through the QAM settings (Right button) until you get a green and yellow signal
across the bottom of the screen, either Green Button Scan or White Button Blind Scan will do

[johnnycoghla]

no better off.

the only things left to try are -
make sure your broadband/internet is working
make sure your box is receiving the internet and you can get free to air channels (bbc, itv, c4 etc)
check all connections to your box are tight and secure
rescan for channels (green or white buttons, use tutorial)
get in touch with your line/gift supplier and see if there is a problem at his end
and if all else fails get a test line to see if that works (use the link i posted in post no 8 above)
it does sound to me like you have been scammed and your line has been stopped
