    Vu+ Duo2 Satellite Selection issues

    Hi,

    Just purchased a new Vu+ Duo2 from World of Satellite, I am having a problem selecting a satellite when configuring the basic settings. I am in Main Menu/Setup/Service Searching/Tuner Configuration. Tuner A and Tuner B Reception Settings are as shown below. However I cannot change the port A or Port B options to select Eutelsat 28A & Astra 1N/2A/2B at 28.2°E for my standard SKY dish. Am I missing something basic here?

    Configuration Mode - simple
    Mode - DiSEqC A/B
    Port A - Nothing Connected
    Port B - Nothing Connected
    Set Voltage and 22KHz - no
    Send DiSEqc only on satellite change - no

    Any help would be great, as at the minute I have a box that is rendered useless until the WOS guys return from their summer break.

    What exactly is your setup ?. if your just using a fixed sky uk dish then set up the tuner as so.

    OK, at the moment I just have a fixed sky dish. So wanted to get that working first, with the outlook of adding another tuner card and motorized dish later.

    Problem I have is that I cannot input anything into the 3rd line (satellite) it just says 'nothing connected'. I have tried reconnecting the dish cables back into my Sky Box and it works fine, so its not the dish or cabling.

    I dont have a Duo2 but i do have 5 other Vu+ receivers and have never had this kind of issue so maybe try a fresh flash of ViX and see it's present in that.

    OK thanks, at the minute I'm running blackhole, but am thinking of trying Vix, as your guide seems a little more user friendly, you might also guess I'm new to this

    What exactly is your setup mate. You mention tuner c so do you have a twin tuner module and single tuner module installed?
