Only get some channels

[jazz5000]

Hi

Just got a gigablue. It has teamred image on it as default.

I have setup the tuner to 28.2
Simple
Astra 28.2
Send diseq no

Sent a boquet and also done a channel scan.

I can watch bbc1 hd etc so getting signal but some channels are greyed out,.
When i click on them it says check tuner configuration.
What do i need to do?

Thanks

I've come across this issue. It's a bug in the image when using automatic scan.

Do exactly as follows: -

1. Download image from here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...-2012-HD800-SE
2. Read how to flash http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...Blue-HD-800-SE
3. Format a USB stick FAT32 as per flashing instructions.
4. Flash the bootloader, copy everything from inside PREFLASH too your USB stick.
5. Power off Gigablue, then connect USB stick.
6. Power on. Bootloader will then flash.
7. When front display says boot, power off.
8. Delete all files on the USB stick.
9. Flash the image. Copy all files inside the FINISH folder to USB stick.
10. Connect USB stick and power on. Do not power off, wait until the unit reboots itself and the startup wizard appears and remove the USB stick.
11. Go through startup wizard. SELECT NO TO ANY SCANS. SELECT SCAN LATER MANUALLY. SELECT NO TO DEFAULT CHANNEL LISTS.
12. No the wizards is complete, either upload a Enigma2 settings/bouquets pack or run a MANUAL SINGLE SATELLITE SCAN.

To upload a settings/bouquets pack follow this guide http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...o-using-DBEdit You must set the satellites.xml path to /etc/tuxbox for the Gigablue Team Red image.

To run a manual scan press Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan > Set to single satellite, see screenshot for 28.2 example.

I've seen other reports of this and found how to replicate it. Its caused by using automatic scan, its a small bug in the image. Only way to clear is to re-flash bootloader and image and start fresh. Then do not use automatic scan, only use manual single satellite scan.

i followed your guide exactly.
i uploaded a enigma 2 boquet
rebooted box

now all channels are greyed out and say check tuner config.

iv checked tuner. it set on astra 28.2
simple
send diseq no

currently trying a manual single satellite scan to see if that works.

Did you reboot the receiver?
Did you put the satellites.xml file into /etc/tuxbox?

will try that after scan completes

thanks

After the scan completes try the bouquets. If still greyed out, reboot. If still greyed out at that point, FTP the satellites.xml file from the bouquet pack to /etc/tuxbox and reboot.

To reboot, hold down standby button on remote, then select restart on screen.

[jazz5000]

Just FTP'd the satellites.xml to /etc/tuxbox and rebooted.

Same thing

You must be doing something wrong then. I replicated this issue and corrected it by following the exact steps I posted.

Maybe copy the same satellites.xml file to both /etc/enigma2 and to /etc/tuxbox then reboot.

[jazz5000]

I ftp to both the locations and it says do you want to overwrite. I say yes
This means the files were already there.

So not sure now

Yes, but could the original system satellites.xml file.

Reboot the receiver after you ftp the satellites.xml file and make sure your tuner config hasn't changed.

Ok done
And rebooted

Same problem.

Follow my instructions in post 2. Ensuring you flash the bootloader first, then the image. Select no to all scans in start up wizard and selecting no to installing default lists. Follow instructions to the letter.

[jazz5000]

Ok let me try again from the beginning.

Is teamred the best image?
If not it might be easier to flash a different image?

No stick with Team Red for now. New images have a softcam issue that will be fixed within the next couple of weeks.

Make sure you flash the bootloader first. The files in PREFLASH folder.

[jazz5000]

Yes that what i did.

The preflash took a few seconds
Then i deleted the files and copied the finish files to the root of usb, that took a few minutes to do then as soon as wizard came up i removed USB and followed your instructions.
