Tuning issues

[lincolnelt]

Hi All,

I purchased a vu+duo 3 weeks ago after using an openbox box, which worked very well and still does.

Moving to the Linux system seems to be a nightmare for a newbie, i have read instructions time and time again to to no avail.

It does seem i'm sure to be great system when it's up and running

I have a twin LNB which at the moment i'm using one of the cables which is connected to A Tuner, In tuner mode i have selected Simple, Single Astra 1n/2a/2b/2d/Eurobird 1 (28.2e). I have downloaded a channel list SGTFlipFlop latest 15-06-12, I'm sing VIX 2.4, all the channels show in favourites, I select clear channels before scan, but when I do a scan i can only find channel 4, with about 5 different regions ITV1 1TV+1, the 9 disney channels, and quite a few radio stations but nothing else. I've tried both tuners with both cables, swapped them around and still the same result, what am i doing wrong?, the SNR ranges from 0-40 and the AGC is 93. When i select the channels in favorites they either say tune failed or SID not found in PAT, the only channels that show are BBC1 BBC2 & ITV, no hd channels show.
Can somebody please tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Linc

when setting tuner up are you putting send diseqc to no or yes

Download this channel list http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post140561
Set tuner A to:
Simple
Single
28E
No

Leave tuner B disconnected at the moment, after sending the channel list reboot and do not scan just go through the list and see if you get the channels ok

[lincolnelt]

Send disc no

[Maxwell]

no not unless you have a diseq switch

lincolnelt, if you plug your openbox in with the same cable do you get all the channels?
If so, sounds like a corrupt satellites.xml
You can generate a new one here:

http://satellites-xml.org/

Then copy the generated file to /etc/tuxbox/

i have done a factory reset and uploaded the latest Mr Mister Channel list but i stll find the same channels, no more?

[lincolnelt]

Yes i do get all the channels when i plug it into my openbox

[judge]

Yes i do get all the channels when i plug it into my openbox

In that case, did you try putting a new satellites.xml on your box?
Other than that, try re-downloading the latest Mr. Mister bouquets again as they do work perfectly.

I done a scan with the new xml file, no change in the amount of channels found, it always stops at ITV2+1 52 Terrestial channels found
