Receiver reset

[copyright]

Hi

I have a new VU+ solo 2 on Cable and have totally messed up the set up. How can I reset the box to the "delivered " state with the open Vix on and everything clear?

Thanks

thanks for the link

now getting an error message "timeout for tuner lock"

What could that be?

[abu baniaz]

Is that when running AutoBouquetsMaker? Most common mistake is people tell receiver that a tuner has a signal wire connected when there is nothing connected to the tuner.

Thanks for answering.

I am a bit confused. The Solo2 only has satellite tuners. Have you got the name of receiver mixed up? You should not be able to set a sat tuner to cable either. Can you post a screenshot of the following pages please? (Link in signature if you need it)

1. Menu > Information > About
2. Menu > Information > Devices

VU+Solo SE version 2

I have tried the screen Grab via the IP address and cant connect to the box, its taking to long to respond

you have a box with dual cable tuners inserted instead of satelite tuners.

[abu baniaz]

Okay, you have a "Solo SE Version2" not a "Solo 2". You also have a twin tuner cable module.

Can you post following screen shots please? Use the OSD screenshot option. Works better when no TV picture is present.

1. Menu> Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration
2. Menu> Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration > Tuner A
3. Menu> Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration > Tuner B

Got the email. Set both tuners as pictured. The network ID is used to filter out unwanted channels, it does not work in the UK from my experience. You must however select correct Net ID in ABM

Run ABM. If it runs fine well and good.Otherwise...
Option 1. Not sure if anyone has used the dual VuPlus tuners for ABM, so try disabling the second tuner ( nothing connected) and run ABM again.
Option 2. Enable debug logs. Menu > setup > system > logs > Settings > Enable debug logs Restart required for it to take effect. Run ABM again then attach debug logs.

LOGS menu is blank

no sub menu within46421

[abu baniaz]

Did you enable the debug logs?
Menu > setup > system > logs > Settings > Enable debug logs

You will find the logs at /home /root/logs by default. Save to PC and attach to thread as attachment

I cant enable the de bug logs as the menu is empty.

cant find home/root/logs

[abu baniaz]

Start off with a blank screen, list every button push/menu you select.

wife is giving it now...

Three bloody days you have been messing with that box..

" its friday and I want to watch the telly"

[abu baniaz]

Way to do it is:
Using any FTP progarm such as Filezilla, navigate to /home/root/logs. Transfer the debug log to PC. Attach the debug log to the thread.

I have sorted the transponder list and services.

It was a faulty cable from the splitter. I did a bit of swapping round and discovered it.

Thanks for your help you have been very patient. On a positive note I now know the menues back to front and inside out. Now to get over the final hurdle.

Thanks again
