Setting up two dishes on Solo 2

[abu baniaz]

Set both tuners identically as diseq a/b. Leave the satellite as automatic. It will scan conencted sats automatically detect the sats and populat the entried for you. Label the cables afterwards.

My previous photo is based on info that you knew which cable was which. You later said that you were not sure which cable was which. At this point I said to set to automatic so taht it automatically detects what you have. Following picture depicts both set to auto as well of one with scanning process. When it finds the satellites, the names will be populated.

Brilliant, thank you very much.

That worked a treat, tuners are now properly set up, on to getting the channels up now. Thank you to all that contributed. Feel like I learnt a few things in the last 24 hours.

Okay, so some hotbird channels are showing up now but when I go to watch a channel I am just getting a blank screen, I am getting now and next information but no picture. Any ideas?

[Stu5]

Not sure if this next bit of information is of any use but.....

When I go into Menu/Setup/Service searching/Sat finder

Tuner A
Satellite 28.2e is showing 81% SNR / 91% AGC

Tuner B
Satellite 28.2e is 85% SNR / 91% AGC

But for Satellite 13.0e SNR and AGC are both 0%

Thanks

might be a good idea to do a settings back up so you wont have to go through the process again in case of any future image upgrade problems etc

Hi hammy, how do backup?

blue button>vix>backup manager>green button
this will create a backup of all your existing settings and can be restored later by accessing the same menu.
handy if your tuner set up gets mixed up etc

I know that it is a steep learning curve. Do you really need a backup to restore this tuner setup? As with all tuner setups, the vital thing is that the config must match hardware.

@Stu5,please confirm that
A. You know which cable is which and that you have labelled them.
B. For the 28.2 tuner, you have set this to simple, single 28.2
C. For the tuner with coax coming from the diseqc switch, you have it set as per post 27.

For the diseqc tuner port b is 13.0e Eutelsat hot bird 13b/13c/13d
