Could not connect to Dreambox on IP adress 192.168.1.116, check the IP address and/or your network.

Hrmmm, What is that? It says to Reboot by hand for new setting to take effect is an Error display style msg?

[Sicilian]

Hold down standby button on remote, then select restart Enigma2.

The above is normal.

After restart you will see the new bouquets.

Thanks that did load correctly, However when the STB loads up nicely with "userbouquet" When I select and press OK on a channel I can not get Picture? I know i might be breaking the rules here, but I don't seem to know what I have to do next from here on...I go over at pressing Blue Button for S**tC@m it says to set that up...There it says "No Config file found, Please Setup MGcamd first in /var/keys."

You don't want to asnwer that one it's ok, I'll just have to dig around try to pick something somewhere...trial n error quest. Wouldn't mind PM either.

Hi there - real newbie here! Just picked up my duo 3 days ago and have most features working well however I'm having some problems - it will recognise flashdrives but not always a usb hdd; plus when trying to play movie files, with mp4 and flv video Ok but no sound. With avi files, sound but no video. mp3 files no sound but wav fine. Just a bit confused as to why and what I could be doing wrong!

I'm setting up my Vu+duo, bought 2nd hand. Previous user had it set up for freesat. I have a motorised, and can't actually receive freesat at current location.

I've the one line going to tuner a, positioner setting completed. Nothing in tuner b. However in both scan modes, i can only search 28.2 east?

I deleted the pre-saved channel lists and installed new motorised ones in case this is an issue. What am i missing?

Thanks!

You might want to try updating your satellite.xml file and choose the satellites you want and then reboot an try rescanning again. You can generate a satellite.xml file from here

http://satellites-xml.eu/

[Larry-G]

Yes i agree with punisher. It sounds like your satellites.xml only has the settings for 28.2 east. First thing I would do is load a new satellites.xml file to see it that remedies your problem.

What files should be in the flash ram ? and how much free space should I have after VIX 2.03 is installed ?
I may installed the epg into the flash ram by mistake.
What folder do I look in ?

[polomora]

As a new user, thanks for the tutorial.

Just a note: The settings links is no longer active.
