Blade BM 8000 combo help

Hi
      all you good people out there I need a little help with my new blade BM 8000 combo.

I need to get this working on the VM network as I have no dish.

ok, I have connected my box to VM and the line is live 100%, also connected internet,

I have entered Menu gone to installation = blade on line and updated channel list for my area,
when I then go to any channels I cannot get anything not even FTA = screen just says NO/bad signal. I have auto scanned and still get nothing.

I also cannot access the 9991 menu

System information is this
S/W version : 1.31 (Sep 7 2015)
H/W version :1.00
Boot version :2.90
CH Version :F016 +STD001.

Any help appreciated in advance.

Software looks like it's not patched 1.24(Apr15)* is what I use.

Would agree may have been taken from official BM site, not being able to access 9991 normally wrong software

Blade online shows only Sat lists not cable, scan needed.
Menu - Installation - Tuner2 scan - Scan Mode = Power Scan - Scan will look for TPs first then channels patience needed
Symbol either 6952 (telewest) or 6887 (ntl)
Step = 8 this can be lowered if some TPs are not picked up

VM feed, end connection on back of box

Hi Jon
           I had a quick go setting it up today, When I go to
Menu = installation what comes up is
   dish settings
   motorized settings
   auto scan
   blind scan
   manual scan
   Pid scan
   terrestrial scan
   Blade online 
I don't know what you mean by tuner2 scan? I don't see tuner2..    VM feed I take it is antenna in?

Tuner 2 normally shows after terrestrial scan press on terrestial scan as earlier boxes/software did show terrestrial.

Top of Tuner 2 shows
Scan mode
Terrestrial top Shows
Channel
Failing that check out the Blade Media site that u have a BM 8000

The software could also be a problem

Hi
      tuner2 doesn't show after terrestrial scan, once in  terrestrial scan, it wont let me scan anything although the tabs are there to do it..

how do I update the software? if this is the issue?

Software is updated similar to the BM 7000
Download software to USB stick turn box off insert stick to box turn on.
Menu,External Device,File Manager, click to download the software, then exit

Rar file use WinRAR or 7Zip, more help with rar file,
