    Setting up F1turbo stb

    Just purchased f1turbo, to replace my Spider box, but when i install it, I can’t seem to get it to drive my H2H box.
    I have set it up as advised by WOS but still no joy.
    I put my Spiderboxback on and it works.
    1. how can I check theF1 issending a signal to the H2H.
    2. Is there any detailed installation guide available.
    3. The F1 has been flashed with VIX, will that be any cause of the issue.
    Or could the F1 possibly be faulty.
    Thanks.

    Movable dish and motor Horizon to Horizon.
    The motor is ok and I can move it using the STB but having great difficulty setting this STB up.
    The STB does not respond as I think it should.
    Could this be because its VIX flashed as I am trying to set it up just as a normal STB. Not even considered using VIX yet.
    I was going to look into that after setting the box up.

    Hi I am still struggling with setting this box up.
    I have had a good read of the OpenVIX manual and tried setting up the STB in accordance with the instructions given.
    Unfortunately they do not relate precisely to my STB , although I have tried to apply them, I cannot get it work. I get no signal to lock on.
    Can anyone just give me a bit of direction, I’m not lazy I have done my research! Read the advice but still no success.
    Many thanks.

    What are you trying to setup? What is connected to your tuner/tuners?

    Menu > setup > tuner config, what are your tuner settings?

    Hi Sicilian,
    I have tried setting it up as Simple with USALs. Both with and without diseque.
    Tried also as Advanced
    It does appear to be to do with my rotor on my H2H dish. Sometimes I can see it moving, another time I can’t.
    I often get error no signal to lock onto.

    Some reason it does not seem to be saving settings.
    If I do an advanced setup, use usuals2 and select two satellites, then press green button to save the setting but when I go to do a search it starts going through all the satellites.
    Also cannot find a setting for diseque 1.2
    It’s driving me up the wall.
    Could the STB be faulty?

    No, hardware will not be faulty. Post screenshots of your settings.

    Which settings, I have tried so many options as there’s no instruction on how to set it up.
    I have tried the setup procedure as defined in OprnVIX manual.
    But there’s different options and just doesent work.

    Before we get further into this, please confirm exactly which receiver you have, F4 Turbo or the F1? Also confirm if you ordered with any extra tuners.

    Also confirm, are you using an actuator motor with a positioner box?

    Sorry here’s what I have

    Formuler F4 Turbo Linux Enigma 2 H.265 HEVC HD Satellite DVB-S/S2 Receiver - with Optional Tuner
    - Enigma 2 Firmware / Image Options (Flashed Free Of Charge): OpenViX (Latest)
    I am using an H2H dish with Stab motor driven by STB.
    Did have others STBs in the past and all worked fine.

    Can’t understand why the STB will not save settings.
    I’m not a complete newbie. I have been using my sat for years and pretty familiar with setting up other STBs but been out of the hobby for a couple of years and thought I would try this one.
    Have not got my head around Openvix yet, but thought I would look into it when I have the system back up and running.
    I have not sat on my backside, I have read up as much info as I can find. But I just can’t get the STB to play ball. Thanks.

    Do as follows:

    1) Menu > Setup > Tuner Setup > Select your tuner and press ok > Set as per the attached screenshot using your longitude and latitude. Press GREEN button to save.
    2) Make sure you have internet connection connected. Menu > Plugins > Press Green to download > Settings > Install vhannibals motor settings.
    3) Once done exit all screens.
    4) Reboot the receiver, hold down standby button on remote and select restart on TV.

    Once rebooted go into the channel lists and navigate satellites.

    Hi, thanks for the info.
    Tried that but still no joy.
    Here’s a few screen shots, perhaps that will throw some light on what’s happening.

    Are you sure that is correct longitude and latitude? Where are you located?
