Hi OP,
Thanks for the swift guide. I'm running IPAB on my Zgemma H5.2TC which arrived yesterday. It's got both S*y and VM lines in them, all plugged in. I have satellite at home with a VM broadband router, so I had to use a 2-way-splitter and 2 coax cables (as you may already be aware from my other post I'm using a not so good 2 way splitter and maybe a "mass produced" cables - proper ones have been ordered!).
Anyway, I have a couple of issues. First being Sly satellite dish picks up 0 signal. The solution to this I already know since it was same on my open box past few weeks, so I'm calling satellite guy in to move/fix the dish outside the house. Therefore, till he comes I can't use the sly line.
My main issue is with VM Net ID.
I looked at the list of Net ID's, I live in West Bromwich Birmingham so I entered it in tuner config B & C. Then when I went to providers and kept pressing right button to search for West Bromwich, it's not there. Q1: Is this due to my shitty splitter I'm using?
So I then decided, ok lets try dudley. Again not there. So I tried Birmingham (there's two birmingham ones, one was 750 and ones TDE - don't know the diffference!). So I entered the Birmingham Net ID in tuner config, then went to providers and it was there. Then clicked scan and here's the MAIN issue I'm experiencing. Some channels work, some don't. Yes, I've got a legit line from a good provider. My internet speed is 100mb and signal is average of 85% mark. But some channels work e.g. Sly Sports Main Event HD, Sly Cricket, and some others. But then other channels don't work such as Sly Sports HD PL or some international channels or kids channels.
So I did some experimenting with other Net ID's, right now I'm using Wolverhampton (which is close city to Birmingham, about 30 minute drive). Same issue kind of. Except channels that didn't work before work now. But other channels still don't work. And some that do e.g. Sly Sports PL HD work but sometimes lag.
I'm not sure what the heck the solution is, it's frustrating!! I'm hoping the proper Splitter and coax cables you linked me which I ordered will fix this - but if not then whats wrong?!
