Timed Out

[ns77]

i am in the process of setting up a new xtrend with the latest vix, i have scanned channels 28.2 ----11097 & 23000 (not sure if this has any thing to do with epg). i think i have set cross epg correctly, i have updated rytec & xepdgb when i go to download it comes up with "crossepg error:time out for tuner lock" anyone come across this.all channels work

cheers

What is your tuner config and what dishes are connected to the box.

Dish 1 metre-28.2-the box is a twin tuner but only setting 1 for now-seem to have all channels-everything else works rytec updates etc but wont download. im sure i had this issue years ago on my vu box but cant remember how i fixed it?????????????

You are asking for trouble trying to download EPG from the internet as well as from the satellite for the same provider. Just use one. Internet based sources do not use a tuner.

what set up do you reckon is best as i cant get the basic cross epg to work

If you answer post 2 as well as state the receiver you have, that would assist in giving you an answer.

Important thing is tuner configuration must match the hardware connected to it. Most common mistake is people only have one tuner with a wire form dish connected to it, but they configure the receiver as if both tuners are connected to the dish.

I have it set up for 2 tuners but only 1 plugged in till i move the box.the box is a xtrend 8000

It is trying to use the 2nd tuner (becasue you have told the receiver there is a signal wire connected to it). It has no signal wire, hence failure.

Set the tuner with no signal wire to: loop through to tuner A. It will use internal loop thorugh for channel viewing when required, this is better than "not configured"
(Assuming tuner A is the one with the signal wire, adjust accordingly if required)
