Hi, I setup my VU+ Solo2 on Friday and everything seemed to go well. I am currently only setup to receive FTA channels and I configured the AutoBouquet Providers to Freesat (UK) and did a scan. My EPG is set to CrossEPG. This all seemed to work fine in the the Channel List only listed the FTA channels and I had channels numbers such as 101 for BBC 1. The EPG also looked fine and I even had some picons that I loaded onto USB stick. However this morning I tried to load some new picons and did't like them so reverted back to my old set and rebooted my Solo. However the Bouquet/Channel list seems to have gone wrong. I have tried to do another scan to no avail. Basically I am now getting every channel including Sly premium ones. The channel list no longer shows channel numbers and is sorted in channel name order and there are no favourite sections - Entertainment, News etc like before.. I cannot seem to get it to revert to how I had it. Please could someone assist....I have shown some screenshots below that may help

Hi.
In the second screen, press PROVIDERS (yellow button) and you will see FREESAT listed. This will take you to the correct bouquets.

That only shows me one channel (Fashion TV I think) but it did that before when it was setup correctly:confused:

Or BLUE for favourites. Will take you to your complete bouquets list. Right now you are in the ALL channels list.

Favourites used to give me options such as Entertainment, News etc. Now regardless of which provider I choose using yellow button I see no favourites when pressing Blue button.

Run ABM again. Check the provider is still Fresat and then run a scan.

OK have run another scan. It finds 209 services (170+ TV which is what I would expect being Freesat). However my Channel list still showing the same....

By the way - if I connect to my box via a browser using Open Webif the EPG and Channel list looks absolutley fine and as I would expect in that I am only seeing FTA channels.

You need to open the channel list. Then press BLUE. Then select a bouquet. Then srlect a channel. From then on the channel list is up to date.

OK I bring up the channel list and press blue (favourites) but there is nothing in there to select from? Below is screenshot of what I see when I press the Blue button :

what i would do is not setup for freesat but choose my location as its ireland and sd and use abm to scan in that 560+ channels saved then go to favourites via blue button and next page has section on fta and choose from there if you wish,if at a latter stage you need cams box is setup:D

Run ABM again and post the debug log.

Thats made no difference - it did find many more services of course but channel list still the same and nothing showing when I press the Blue button. I did have an issue this morning that the box froze when I tried to do a GUI reboot. The box has been rebooted since then though but wondering if this has anything to do with it? Also, when I look in my /etc/enigma2 directory I see a userbouquet.favourites.tv file which has a datestamp of 01/01/1970 which seems odd.

Just means it was created when the clock was not active.

Debug log please.

Excuse my ignorance but where is the debug log?

carpytone

OK I found the debug logs setting and have enabled it. I have rerun a ABM scan but no debug log has been created

Have rebooted the box which has produced the following debug log if it is of any use

Just some more info....I have downloaded the bouquets created by ABM into Dreambox and they are as I would expect them - only FTA channels - correct channel numbers etc. So I am still baffled why the Channel list does not display them or give the option to display them - instead just shows ALL channels in alphabetical order and therefore also causing my EPG to be a nightmare to use.

What happens when you press the TV button on your remote? On the Solo2 remote you will have a Radio button one side n a TV button on the other side, thats the TV button I mean.

TV Buttons seems to mimic what happens when I press Blue in the channel list in that it shows nothing as in screenshot 1 below. The radio button seems to be ok as shown in 2nd screenshot

You have done something wrong. What I would do is go into ABM and set your freesat to no etc so you have no channel providers listed n then start scan. This should clear your list hopefully. Then restart your receiver. Then I would go back into ABM n setup your freesat, and start scan. When the scan is complete, restart gui and then press down n see what is listed then?

OK I set all the providers to no and tried to run a scan but it would not let me. So I took option to delete Bouquets and this did clear all the userbouquet.abm.* files from /etc/enigma2. I then rebooted the box - set my FreeSat provider to Yes and reran a scan - found the 209 services as I would expect. Press TV button but still nothing showing

When I go into my box via webrowser I see the Bouquet fine.

As a last resort I decided to restore an image backup that I took on Friday after I had set the box up and that has resolved the issue with the Bouquet Channel List and EPG. Thanks for everyones input at trying to help me resolve this :)

Press TV, then GREEN, then BLUE and the Freesat list will show.

Huevos - there was nothing showing no matter what I tried. I played with the satellites (Green), Providers (Yellow) and Favourites (Blue) as shown by all the screenshots I posted and nothing seemed to be solving the issue. I ftp'd some different picons onto my USB stick this morning and when I tried to do a GUI Restart the system froze on the Vix screen. I left it for 10 minutes and in the end I turned the box on and off. I wondering if this somehow caused the issue. Apprectaite the restore was not a practical solution but didn't seem to be any other choice after trying all sorts to get it working.

had the same issue, fixed it by factory resetting the box, ran ABM again and channels appeared with favourites.

Better to press the TV button if your remote has one.
