View Full Version : Channel scan doesn't find any channels with Unicable II LNB on VU+ Duo 4K SE box

I'm in Dumfries, Scotland. I have a VU+ Duo 4K SE box with 2 Twin Satellite DVB-S/S2/S2X FBC Tuner cards installed.

My Dish is pointed at 28.2 East. I connected my "LNB Unicable II - GT-Sat GT-S1DCSS24 SCR/dCSS Single Cable SCR24" to my dish and I connected the sat cable from the LNB (not the legacy port) to the top port of physical Tuner A as shown here:

66305

These are my settings:

Tuner A
======

Configuration mode: Advanced
Satellite: 28.2E
LNB: LNB 1
Priority: Auto
Type of LNB/Device: SCR (Unicable/Jess)
SCR (Unicable/JESS) type: LNB
Manufacturer: GT-Sat
Model: GT-S1dCSS24
Position: 1
Channel: User band 1 (0975)
Connected through another tuner: No
DiSEqC mode: None
Force legacy signal stats: No

Tuner B
======

Configuration mode: Advanced
Satellite: 28.2E
LNB: LNB 1
Priority: Auto
Type of LNB/Device: SCR(Unicable/Jess)
SCR (Unicable/JESS) type: LNB
Manufacturer: GT-Sat
Model: GT-S1dCSS24
Channel: User band 2 (1025)
Connected through another tuner: Yes
Connected to: Tuner A: Vuplus DVB-S NIM(4530BX FBC) DVB-S2X
DiSEqC mode: None
Force legacy signal stats: No

Tuner C-H are as Tuner B except they use User band 3 and onwards.

After I do an Automatic scan I get these results:
Tuner A: No channels found
Tuner B: Only 14 Channels found.

What am I doing wrong where it's not finding all the channels? Are my settings correct?

Are you sure you are scanning the whole satellite and not just a single transponder? Please post a screenshot of the scanning option you are using so we can double check.
SkyFan
11-04-24, 16:35
I'm not sure what you mean. These are the only Automatic scan settings I see where it asks me yes or no for each item:

66306

Also, is it just Tuner A that I need to scan since there's only a physical cable connected to Tuner B?
abu baniaz

The channel list is not specific to tuner. Once you scan one one tuner the channels are available for all tuners. You dont have to scan, but it is a good check to see if everything is okay.

There is discrepancy in your description. Please confirm whether the wire is in top socket (tuner A) or bottom socket (tuner B).

Ignore question about scanning. Those options are only available in manual scan. Sorry.
SkyFan
11-04-24, 17:13
I said the wrong thing before, the Wire is connected to Tuner A in the top port.
SkyFan
11-04-24, 22:06
Are my tuner settings correct? Any idea why an automatic scan isn't finding all the channels?
abu baniaz

The tuner configuration appears correct. Please attach the file called "settings" in etc/enigma2 if you want it double checked. You will need to zip it before uploading it.

Have you checked that the f-plugs did not unscrew from the cable when you were swapping cables around? As you were planning to connect the other receiver too, did you fit any splitters? If so, what type are they?

There have been some posts by people who were shipped the LNB with Italian frequencies. Please double check with retailer you got the one with UK/standard frequencies.

All F plugs in the LNB and receiver are connected properly. I'm not using any splitters yet.

How would I check if the LNB has UK/standard frequencies or Italian? I don't think I have the box the LNB came in anymore as the satellite installer threw it away.

I assume you are using OpenViX and not OpenATV as the unicable setup is different

so for Italian choose GT-S2dCSS24 - Italy - the models all use the same frequencies for the either Italian or other.
I am using currently the GT-S3DCSS24 which works well, but uses the Italian frequencies (it comes with a double sided sheet with either German or Italian values - as I live in Germany and ordered in Germany, you would expect German, but .....!)

These are the SCR settings for a UK GT-S3DCSS24. I assume they'll be the same for you.

That's the same settings that I used apart from changing the model and manufacturer. You mentioned my settings in my config.nims in the settings file don't look right. What settings do I need to change?

When you set your tuners up on the box it should write them to the settings file automatically when you press the green 'save' button.
I assume you are pressing save when you set up each tuner?

I've edited your setting file with my nims.
init 4 the box and copy them over and reboot and see how that looks.

Below is what I found from your settings file, they are not what you posted above. They are completely wrong. They are when you had 4 universal 28.2. Maybe you attached the wrong file or from teh wrong



config.Nims.0.diseqcA=282
config.Nims.1.configMode=equal
config.Nims.8.configMode=equal
config.Nims.9.configMode=equal


Anyway, please try willo's file although it would be better to remove these lines before transferring over

I was wondering what they were myself :confused:
I haven't set the tuners up properly in a long time, I've just restored settings.
