[VU+ Duo] Help with VU+ Duo

[rhunton]

Hello,
I got a VU+ Duo delivered at the start of the week and up to now I'm not impressed at all.

I have updated to the latest VIX image and run all the updates.

I've configured the tuners into Single / simple mode but all I get are the messages "Tune Failed!" or "service unavailable check tuner configuration"

I'm trying to pick up Eutelsat 16°, I can pick the channels up on my Spiderbox 9900HD and Technomate 1000d fine but this box will just not work.

I've done a scan and it finds 540 channels but just won't display a picture.

I've been going around in circles and its driving me insane.

Can someone tell me is my box faulty?

Cheers

Rob

Hi..

Are you using usals.. ?

If yes.. then try and change your longitude.. If your longitude is eg.. 52.000..

Then change it to 50.000 and try that.. In other words.. Come down 2 full degrees..

If thats no better.. then step it up to 50.200 and try again.. stepping it up 0.200 everytime..

I also had this problem with 16E.. and once i found the correct longitude.. all has been perfect from there on.. om all satellites..

also make sure your using a upto date satellites.xml file.

post up a screen dump of your tuner configuration and also send across to the box one of the multi sat channel list in the Enigma 2 forum.

If you mean the "Updating Channels" link, it looks like it's pointing to the wrong place.

The tutorial has since been moved hence the broken link, here is a working link to it.

go into advance TAB and browse to the directory on your desktop where you have the picons stored

Did you mean Setting>Advanced?
I didn't find anything for picon there.
Or is it setting>picon?

My mistake, its settings icon and than picon tab

Launch dreamboxedit & It's then Tools -> Options - Picon tab.
You can set your default path there.

I think i did that but for whatever reason,the picons won't display on the DBEdit.Is there a recommended path on the pc where i should save the picons and then set it as default path?
Thanks for the help.

No, any path as long as it's correct should work there.
