Hello Catseyes. Echelon replied to a problem I had and suggested I read comments on this thread. I am a complete novice on current satellite issues. I purchased a Vu+ Solo box and with a lot of help from this forum, and in particular Echelon, got my box up and running. I thought a good idea to update my channel list so I downloaded Catseye E2 for 28.2E - 13.0 E and 7W. I uploaded using VuCC. When I came to use my receiver all I got was "Service Unavailable. Check Tuner Configuration" Whatever I tried I could not receive a signal. Rightly or wrongly I did a factory reset and tried to start from scratch. I have tried to follow Dummies Guide but for the life of me I cannot get the tuner to config. I an using an old tuner to move my motorised dish which has a quad LNB fitted. The dish is set at 19.2E at the moment.
In Reception Setting:-
Config ...Advanced,
Satellite...All Satellites (1-4options),
LNB...LNB34.
With this setup I get the Service Unavailable message.
I changed the dish from a motorised one to my fixed 28.2E fixture. I then tried to config the tuner to this.
Reception Settings:
Config... Simple,
Mode ...Single,
Satellite..Nothing Connected (cannot change!).
I have uploaded the Channel List again and can see the list for 28.2E - 13.0E
Having read comments on thread I tried replacing the satellite xml (10) zip file you posted for Satfred but this has not helped. Any suggestions?
Hiya
All you need to do is
1.download the xml file
2.unzip/unrar file
3.open up files on your box using Dreambox Control Centre or similar software
4.Then locate current xml file in system which is located in etc/enigma
Add/ftp your new xml file
5.You should get message of overwrite file -yes
6.Then exit & reboot box
7. Your sat config options should be back for you to set according to your needs
Hi catseye. That is just what I did but it did not work for me. I followed the points you suggest and used VuCC to upload the xml file.
Maybe it's a bug or just the way Vu+ receivers work but every time I install a new image from scratch I do have tuner issues if I upload any channel settings. The workaround I found on my Solo2 is to never configure your tuners first unless you're going to perform an automatic scan. Leave them as NOT CONFIGURED and carry on setting up the box. When finished then upload your channel lists using any of the options available and ONLY then configure your tuners with whichever lnb arrangement you've got. Try it and let us know if it worked.
Wouldnt work for me, so I opened Catseye's settings list, deleted the.xml file, tranferred the new .xml file to list, closed list and THEN uploaded to box, all working perfect now!!.....Oh thanx Catseye for the best settings list on't web : )
Thanks guys for your comments. In answer to catseye, the Channel/provider/new list is not greyed out. However the list reads channel/providers/new. I does not name the satellite as it use to do. So instead of say Astra 19.2E I get "Provider". If I select channel list then the channels are greyed out. The root appears to be that the receiver cannot find the name of any satellite. Yes Kota when I first set up the receiver I did an auto scan on each satellite. It took an age but with not a little help from this forum I got up and running. My problem now is i cannot even start to set the box. As soon as I start the set procedure I get the message "service unavailable check tuner config". Hi to you goffy7167. Just tried your idea but without luck.
I'll say yet once more. Start from scratch. Install the image again and DO NOT do any automatic scan. Leave all tuners in not configured status and setup your box following the wizard. Don't install any default lists. When finished go to Setup>System>Customize, enable set up mode to Expert and set Enable Multiple Bouquets to Yes. Then edit Catseye's settings with the new satellite xlm file as he explained. Upload the list and reboot. Finally configure your tuners according to your lnb's setup and I'm sure all will be OK.
Hi catseye.. Just want to say thanks for the amazing settings!!
Just one question, is bbc interactive include as I can't find it
Thanks
yes normally are but unfortunatley BBC's Lack of money/funds have meant there is now only BBC Red Button HD which at the moment i cannott seem to find
on 28e see here : https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...BBC+RED+BUTTON
but on 24.5w BBC Red button is ok via Biss ,
