new vu+ solo

[rossi2000]

good afternoon

i recieved my solo today,
i flashed it with vti v2.0 image and then downloaded cccam and my engima2 channel lists, everything seems to be working but some channels have 0% signal,

now i read a thread about changing drivers but i thought they would be included already in the v2.0 image as that seemed to be a fix for v1.0? should i replace the drivers like you would do on v1.0 on the v2.0?

any help appreciated!

No dont use the drivers from the older VTI image as its OE1.5, they wont be compatible.

Tbh I've not had a chance to test latest VTI image on the Solo, but I know for sure the older image with the updated drivers works well.

[rossi2000]

thanks for your quick response, i'll flash the older image and then update the drivers, see if that helps

cheers!

hmmm still the same, am looking into it further, seems like its not picking up all tps

[rossi2000]

after a little more reasearch, it seems that its not recieveing any tps on the H only seems to pick up ones on V,
eg:-
12012 V = all the channels work
11798 H = none of the channels work.
11720 H = none of the channels work
12090 V = all the channels work
hmmm strange as my spiderbox works on all.

Tuner is setup as single + simple on 28.2e and no diseq

is there anyhting else i'm missing?

Are you 100% sure that you replaced the drivers? Did you extract them from the zip file, then ftp them to /lib/modules/2.6.18-7.3/extra/ ??

[rossi2000]

i deleted the ones there and replaced them with the new ones
i restarted the box after it.

i just did it again and still the same.

some of the H channels come through reallly jerky and blocky and some dont come through at all.

Tuners settings as follows: -



Scan settings as follows: -



Try the above.

[rossi2000]

scan done 100% 862 channels found, still the same hmm

some of the channels come through really jerky and blocky, unwatchable

[rossi2000]

if i go on satfinder and search on 11720 H 29500 DVB-S2 QPSK 3/4 the snr just jumps up and down and the agc is around 30-50% and it doenst lock on.
if i search on 12012 V 29500 DVB-S2 QPSK 3/4 the snr is 73% and agc is 50% and it locks

have you checked your lnb??

i'm in apartments, the dish is round the front.

i assume it'll have a quatrro lnb running to a multiswitch which then feeds the apartments.

my dm500s + spiderboxhd work fine, could it still be the lnb?

[basilyoung]

if other units are working ok, then its not the lnb, but it could be the coax cable at fault, most likely a poor connection,

if there is another sat unit available, use it to test the sig strengths,
this way...it will identify the problem, or discount it

[rossi2000]

the spiderbox shows signal ok on the tps that show 0 on the solo

i have a dm800hd off a freind aswell that does the same thing as the solo, only thing in common is that they are both engima2 boxs
the boxes that do work arent engima2.

[basilyoung]

thats the answer that i expected

its not enigma 2 thats at fault,....its your tuner setting i think

go tro manual scan,
try setting the tuner up as dvb_s rather than S2
select say scan a single satellite rather than transponder on say 13 east
and see what comes up
