Setup help required please

[Redrooster]

Many thanks my friend, I've just walked in had my dinner and then read this, I've got company coming tonight so it may be tomorrow night before I get chance to have a go.

Really appreciate your help, thank you.

Many thanks, that's worked a treat, cheers.

I've had no channel lists though, so at the moment I've just found the 13 East and 28.2 east and done an automatic scan to see if everything is working.

Is there an easier way of finding the sats once you have a couple locked in?

Cheers

[basilyoung]

yes, if you go menu/plugins once the screen is up, download plugins, select settings, and look for "catseye" listings,...hi light it, and download

thats if catseye is listed..if not any motorized listing will do for now ( just remember.d that VIX is not yet available on your unit )

the unit will restart ( I think ) then in your fraverits ( blue button normally ) you should have all sats listed

I am hoping MrMister will step in as he has this unit, and his info will be more accurate

[Mr. Mister]

I take it your using openmips or openaaf image..

The Vix image for the Quad has not been released yet.. ( Im testing that at the moment.. )

I have never seen any of the above 2 mentioned images to talk you through set up.. so i am unable to help you there..

If it were me setting this up on a motorized set up.. i would be using usals..

The main secret in usals.. is getting your latitude and longitude correct.. If you get this correct.. then you will have no issues with any sats..

Pretty standard i think.. no matter what image you are using..

Also.. As for bouquets... I would just ftp your choosen bouquets to your box via dreambox edit..

Hope this helps in some way..

@ MrMister

just a heads up, this person is using a V Box/36volt motor set up, so USALs I think is not an option

[Mr. Mister]

Sorry Basil..

I have never had a set up like that.. Or at least not for 10 years..

It should not matter what STB is being used.. Set Up for a V-Box / 36volt positioner should be pretty Universal.. ??

yes, that side of things is pretty much sorted, as in yes, Universal, its the menu etc that I am playing the guessing game with

and thanks for stepping in

[Mr. Mister]

Sorry.. i have never seen the OpenAAF or OpenMips images.. So i am of no help at all..

I know there are now quite a few new Quad users who are using the above 2 images.. So maybe they can step in to help..

Thanks guys, I'll have a play and see what happens.

Thanks for all your help so far, I hope you don't mind me keep asking the questions?

Just a thought, and again "sorry" as I'm only learning !! but as and when the Vix image becomes available will i need to set everything up again?

[basilyoung]

Yes, but it will be a lot easier, the motor side for example, will simply mean re configging the tuners as is
the rest will be done via the image

[Redrooster]

Ok, I'm learning I've just used Dreamboxedit and Catseye and downloaded to the gbquad and it works great!! yes..!!!!

Thanks everyone, whats next then? getting my head around a softcam, or am I jumping the gun?

[basilyoung]

No not jumping the gun at all, but a good tip, is to focus on one issue at a time, which you seem to be doing

softcams are a subject that needs to be asked about carefully, as in we will assist getting softcams installed, to read your local card only

[Redrooster]

Hi Basil,

I fully understand the need to careful, no problem.
Would you recommend any one particular cam I should concentrate on, i.e one that has the best track record and support in your opinion for my local card please?

thanks again.
