[boxer29]

vix 2.3 stuck while watching youtube
had to boot up from the back button
stuck of starting
had to reflash vix 2.3 153
install settings again
but now cant get any channels
it says check tuner configuraiton
had got only one lnb at the back on tuner a on a fixed 28.2 sky dish
tried to change the tuner settings to
a simple
28.2
save
tuner b not configured nothing connected
when i try to select any channel
it says check your tuner configuration

[boxer29]

still no luck
had installed the image again
from scratch
taken all usb from the back out
i think the tuner settings is messed up by vix 2.3
dont know how to get the box working again
still stays no tuner found check your tuner configuration
i have checked the tuner config
tuner a simple
single
astra 28.2e
diseqc no
tuner b not configured
the dish has got quad lnd
2 feeds going into sky hd box
which is working so the lnb is ok
the other 2 feeds are for the vu+duo but one feed is connected
have swapped the cables around
now the cable is in tuner a
when i click the sat finder in setting
the lock box is not ticked
when i press enter it ticks green
but then changes back
whats wrong here
any comments from you guys

1- After configuring the tuner it is sometimes necessary to restart the box. Did you do that?
2- Why set tuner b to "not configured"? Just set it to "looptrough to tuner A". It will give you some more freedom for free.

If you again do not succeed: please make a screenshot of your tunersetting and post that here?

13986139871398813989139901399113992did everything as you said

in sat finder in the setting in the box the sat lock sign is not locked to green either
i might have changed some of the settings there ,

you can see when i press the of button the sat finder locks ,when i come out of it ,its blank again
any help pls
i did updated the vix 2.3 to latest build as well

[boxer29]

sorted now
did send the silverfix setting again to the box after changing the webif port to 00080
and its working now
might be a problem first time the settings might not have gone through
thanks

I find that on a few occasions when I have had similar probs that rescanning the sat sorted me out.
i.e redo the tuner setup tuner a=28.2 and tuner b loopthrough then scan the sat.

Are the settings you are reloading from vix 2.3? Or an earlier image?
As if i remember correctly 2.3 requires settings to be redone from scratch

Edit, crossed posts, well done on sorting it ;)

What advantage will I get if I set tuner b loop through to tuner a
Can you explain
Thanks

You will be able to view some extra channels when you are recording or watch via browser.

I did that setting but while recording bbc1 when I wanted to switch to any other channel it says tuner not available.will out show channels on the same transponder our what
Only one cable is connected to tuner 1 out my box
Or do I have to do some other settings

[Larry-G]

To be honest i find it rather baffling that people buy a dual tuner receiver then decide to handicap it by only supplying a single feed. If you already have a quad Lnb and all the feeds are in use it would be well worth your while to spend another £40 or thereabouts and replace it with a Octo LNB.

[boxer29]

no i wanted to put a motorized dish on the other tuner
but didn't had the time to do it
just experimenting with the box

[boxer29]

What advantage will I get if I set tuner b loop through to tuner a
Can you explain
Thanks
i have set tuner B to loopthrough to A
will thner B get the setting from the tuner A or do i have to do a scan for tuner B again
how do i set it up so that i can watch other FTA channels while recording others
what do you mean that i can get more chnnels and flexibility
can you explaing pls and how do i set this up
thanks

The only thing you'll have to do is to set the loop through (as you did).
The second tuner will be able to tune to transponders in the same 'quadrant' (same frequency band and polarisation, on same satellite) as the first tuner: that's the extra freedom you get for free.

aprt from above there is no other advantage which you can get by doing the setting of tuner B of loopthorough to tuner A
is that right or am i missing some thing here
thanks

LOL, isn't that enough?

[boxer29]

Fo me there is no change either I set

Tuner B to not configured or to loop through to tune A
or someone else can explain to me any noticeable change in these settings

[Rob van der Does]

Have a number of simultaneous recordings in progress: watch live-TV on any other channel then the ones you record and see which tuners are being used (in the infobar).
Anything tuner B is doing is a bonus compared to it not being configured.

i tried that
but all it showed was tuner not available
all the time tuner a is active in the menu bar
do i have to do any more settings or what
if you are using it or any one has set it up and using it can explain it a bit more to me
thanks

[Rob van der Does]

There's nothing more to it.
Please show me a screenie of your tunerconfig, as there's something not OK there.

tuner b :bcm7335 dvb-s2 nim (internal) (dvb-s2)
loopthrough to tuner a

these are in my tuner configuration

[Rob van der Does]

Well, seems to be OK (if indeed no switches are being used).

Did you consider what I wrote earlier

The second tuner will be able to tune to transponders in the same 'quadrant' (same frequency band and polarisation, on same satellite) as the first tuner: that's the extra freedom you get for free.

[boxer29]

[Rob van der Does]

It looks like there is a loopthrough related problem at the moment: I'm having some troubles now as well.
