    Sundtek Sat USB tuner setup issues

    Hi im trying to setup a Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate 6 DVB-S/S2 tuner on my VU+ Uno4k on OpenViX 5.0.027 and im not sure what the issue is.

    I have plugged in the tuner, powered on box and installed Sundtek control centre gone though the setup here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...dtek+usb+tuner box doesn't restart so I restarted but no tuner showing in tuner config. I went through the setup again and when pressing blue I get DVB-C Tuner start but it should be DVB-S2 and no restart.

    No DVB-S2 tuner shows in tuner config so im not sure what else to do.

    usually with usb tuners one might need the driver from plugins and reboot box then tuner should become visible.

    ...the Sundtek control centre plugin is used to download the latest drivers.

    I Installed the Sundtek plugin that installed drivers so it should be using latest. @jawz where do I FTP those drivers to?

    Thanks but still the same no DVB-S2 showing in tuner config. Isn't there a way to tell if the Tuner is getting power?

    have you got your cable plugged into the tuner. On mine there is a little white light on one of the sides, but if you have no cable plugged into it, i noticed it wasn't lit.

    PM'd you.
    I had to completely power off the box and power on with the tuner plugged in.
    Install drivers and then deep standby and completely power off again.
    The tuner wouldn't appear in the control centre by just restarting the box.

    Power on and then go back into the control centre and enable tuner 1 and press the blue button to save and start.
    E2 will restart and the tuner should now appear in tuner config.

    Thanks for the suggestions I tried willow's method and still the same no tuner showing when selecting tuner 1 etc and no stick found message on the left.

    Then I tried the method provided by sundtek and still the same. I have installed and uninstalled and it makes no difference I will test it on another box later then image.

    Debug log attached if anyone can make sense of it
