VU+ Solo 2 USB Turbo USB cable tuner not tuning channels

[nasifkhan]

Hi,

New to this forum so please bare with me.

I have a Solo 2 with the VU+ Turbo USB Tuner DVB-C/T2 running the openvix-5.0.016 image.
The solo 2 recognises it after i downloaded the drivers for it.

I have tried to scan channels and it only picks up 4. It is the 1st time i have used cable as I've always been using Sly.

Can anyone advise what im doing wrong?
if any further info is needed then please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you set your area Net Id correctly? Use Autoboquetsmaker.

I have completed the steps again and this time it has found 550 channels
Menu>Setup>Service Searching>Signal Finder>SNR = 87%, AGC = 93%, BER = 0
Not sure what this all means but I thought it would help.

Menu>Setup>Service Searching>AutoBouquetsMaker>Configure>Setup Mode = Expert
Menu>Setup>Service Searching>AutoBouquetsMaker>Providers>Virgin UK = Yes (all the others are NO)
-Virgin (UK): Area = 41015 Birmingham TDN
-Virgin (UK):FTA only = No
-Virgin (UK): generate main bouquet = Yes (all channels)
-Virgin (UK):Generate section bouquets = Yes
-Virgin (UK):Generate HD bouquets = Yes
-Virgin (UK):Generate FTA Bouquets = Yes
-Virgin (UK):Generate FTA HD Bouquet = Yes
-Virgin (UK):swap channels = Yes

All HD Channels say "service not found! (SID not found in PAT)"

When i select FTA Channel only BBC 1,2,ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 show. (BBC 1 says BBC ONE West MIdlands)

I am in Walsall. Im not sure what my NET ID is, however i did a quick google search and found this - Walsall - West Mids TW, 40974 131000 6952

You do realise the the only channels you get on cable are fta SD . All other channels are encrypted.

 

[nasifkhan]

No, didnt know that but BBC 1,2,ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 only work and are in SD. These are the only ones that are listed under the FTA Channels

there are no HD channels that are FTA on cable

.... quite a few HD channels on freeview, in case anyone is wondering.

I can't see any of them. All come up with black screen.

That is because they are encrypted. Why did you get a cable tuner just to watch a few FTA channels?. You would get all these channels in HD on satellite

 

[nasifkhan]

Because satellite has been changed by sly and no channels work

If it was FTA I would have stayed with sattelite.

I know that. I'm referring to premium channels.

You can not discuss that on these forums.

If the channels in the bouquets created by ABM show "sid in PAT" errors, you have used the wrong Net ID.

I know which is why I am not talking about them.

I want to make sure I have connected everything correctly that's all.

Any ideas where I can get the correct net ID?

Engineer menu of official receiver. Or try them all one by one. Start with nearest ones first.

Next statement could lead to thread being closed.

 

[nasifkhan]

Ok thanks.

Am I scanning channels correctly and doing the ABM correctly?
