[VU+ Solo2] USB sundtek cable tuner scanning problems

[bokkie]

Hello everyone. I'm having a few problems doing a scan on my new sundtek cable tuner. running ABM I pick up nearly 400 channels, but only get 1 channel when I do a manual scan.
What should my settings be? This is the info for my area Farnham NTL 00003 755.000 6.887 But what goes where? I have attached my screenies below.
How do I enter the frequency, etc. It looks like I don't have enough digits on the settings page.

Try these setting in manual scan

Frequency 715
Symbol rate 6952000
QAM/256

You may need to change the frequency depending are your area, worth it try on the above

Where did you purchase the tuner from Bokkie and how much did it cost?

Google Sundtek online shop they are in germany then look for Sundtek MediaTV Pro 89 euro's

There are multiple frequencies in use in any particular area. It is easier to do a complete scan instead of the single frequency scan you are doing. But it does take about 20 minutes to complete.

You should get about 500 channels if you are using a good up top date cables.xml file.

can anyone point me in the way of a cable.xml file?

I'm sure a up to date cable.xml is already in the vix image so there would be no need for it.

If you are using abm you have nothing to gain doing a manual scan with cable.

Why have you bought the pro for an enigma2 box, surely the €79 euro one without radio is the one to get .

Did you try the settings I suggested but with your area frequency? I had the same issue but using them settings I picked up almost 500 channels

What area are you from?

 

[bokkie]

in my setting under symbol rate I only have 5 digits, but the one you posted has 7. Do I just put 69520 and leave the last two 0's?

Change type of scan to single transponder and it's 06952 in the symbol rate

Boom, you're a legend. 31% and 160 channels found.
Cheers for that.
