You sau single but than have it set up as motor?

If it is fixed than change positioner to single a d select sat as 13E.

check your F-plug ends and make sure there nice and sung with no loose braids that could cause a short.
Then i would try updating the satellites.xml file for all of the locations you want to receive

Also try updating the FPGA although i'm sure if you bought it from WoS he would have done it, but it wont hurt to make sure.

Menu> plugins> FPGA Upgrade or Firmware Upgrade. >
Blue to download then highlight TS_PRO.dat and hit green to upgrade.

This will flash the chip that controlls the tuner cards, and is a essential upgrade for use with newer images / drivers.

Ok I've updated the FPGA and it still the same, I used to have a dreambox 7020Si (last week), when I sold it I left it on hotbird, so when I plug the Vu+ in it should of work,
it's got to be something simple,
Thanks

Hi, iv just come home from work, i tryed this,
iv plug in my friends spiderbox and got a picture, but its not working on the Vu+? the leads on fine and nothing its touching, so what could the problem be?
iv download the Vhannibal E2 Motor 03 ott, and also the satellites.xml, in the rigth folders,
im only using Tuner A, nothing in B
Thanks 3 Days and Still on Joy :(

If anyone could help me, i can give you my Email in PM

Is this only on hotbird? Have you tried other satellites?

Have you tried running a single satellite scan?

[Sicilian]

Another you cant rely on using an alternative receiver to test. I've seen things like this before that the feed has a short, don't affect all receivers but does affect VU's. Are you able to run a temp cable direct to LNB?

[fullmonty]

No cant pick nothing Up, with the Vu+, I get strong signal but no picture,

Thanks but I can't do that, as it's of the roof,

I would test as follows.

1) Use spiderbox to move dish, ensure its getting a picture.
2) Re-flash your Ultimo and start fresh.
3) Setup the Ultimo as if its a fixed dish on Hotbird. Simple, single satellite, hotbird.
4) Upload vhannibals settings from here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?2639-Latest-vhannibal-E2-settings/page25 for Hotbird post 245.

I've advised re-flash because not sure what exact steps you've done.

[fullmonty]

ok i have re-flashed it, but the setting are still there?
iv plug the usb in the front and the display said found software?
should i do a factory reset,

all i have done since iv got it, is only the turner set-up, and positioner set. no download nothing installed (plug-ins)

[Sicilian]

Look at the screen, tells you to press/touch '-' minus button to flash.

[fullmonty]

ok i have now press the ''-'' flash0 avail0 (048MB)
should i only update FPGA or leave that for now,
im about to go through the wizzard set-up
