Please help me setup my box

[Tw4T]

Hi guys, when I bought my Vu+ Duo from my local satellite shop it came pre installed with all the channels from 68.5e to 58w. The guy said he had done this so that when the installer came to fit my dish and motor he would not have top do a (long) channel scan. The channels would already be there. Anyhow, when the installer came and setup the dish there was a problem with the box, basicly it "green screened" everytime he put the coax lead into the box. To cut a long story short, I decided to do a factory reset and copy a "satellites.xml" file over to /etc/tuxbox (I got the xml from here > http://www.satellites-xml.eu/). After a 12 hour scan it has picked up over 7000 channels/radio stations. What I am wanting to know is, how did the installer get all the channels on the box without doing a scan? I am wanting to know so if I ever need to factory reset again, I will not have have to do another 12hr scan. One thing I have also noticed since doing a reset is that there are no channel images anymore. When I first set my box up; even tho I had no dish, I could navigate the menues and what not and there where channel icons for most of the stations. So, What files do I need to get a hold of to be able to copy over a COMPLETE channel log of every satellite I am able to pick up (68.5e to 58w) with it being the most upto date as possible.

Thanks for taking the time to read this rather long post. Im hoping somebody would be kind enough to reply asap so I can get to grips with it and give it a try.
Once again, Thanks for reading.

he copied a bouquet set onto the box

OK I see. Any idea how I would go about doing the same thing? Cheers

 

[Larry-G]

yes use dreamboxedit and any of the e2 bouquets from the bouquet section

 

[Stanman]

Go into the Engima 2 forum and there all in there, along with tutorials, if you get stuck post up here.

Thank You. I would rather not use dreamboxedit tho, I like to do things manually. I think its the best way to learn. Cheers. Ill look into the enigma 2 forum and chack it out.

edit: Im assuming you mean the Enigma 2 Settings forum?

er dreambox edit or a silimar programme is your only option unless you want to manually scan every single satellite one by one

 

[Tw4T]

Ah, ok, thats a bit of a bummer, I dont usually use third party programs, and Im on a Linux box atm. What other alternatives are out there ?

 

[Larry-G]

enigmedit
dreamset
dreambox edit
openDBedit

 

[Tw4T]

OK, Ive got to grips with that but am not sure on what e2 bouquets file to use. Which should I use? Cheers

EDIT: Can I not just download the bouquets I need and manually copy them/it over to /etc/enigma2 ?

that depends on what satellites you want to receive. for example the silverfox ones only cover sky uk and uk terrestria tv

 

[punisher]

which satellites you plan on watching?

 

[Tw4T]

68.5e to 58w. I have just d/l Catseye E2 Settings File 75 East-58 West 05.03.2011. Not sure if this is the right one for my setup ?

yes that will be fine.

 

[Tw4T]

And I copy EVERYTHING from the .rar to /etc/enigma2 ?

 

[basilyoung]

no

you have to use a ftp prog like dreambox edit

or down load a "settings" list via your unit, ( think this is your best option )

also, before you go to far,...do you know what image ( control / operating system ) you are using, ie; VIX or PLI, or VTI images

ie, when you start the unit, you get a splash screen, normally with the controll system, known as the "image",s name

My Image is Enigma (Vu+ Image Xtreme) Feb 21 2001 - Image Duo v2.0.3 -2001-02-20. I use my own FTP program. I just need to know where to put the files from the Catseye E2 Settings File 75 East-58 West 05.03.2011.rar file. I think everything goes in /etc/emigma2 except the xml which goes in /tuxbox. I just need confirmation.

Thankyou. Will Do.

Ok, Read all I need to read but everything states I need to use DBedit or similar. My problem is I am running a Linux box so cannnot run any of these programs. All I want to know is what directories I need to MANUALY copy over the files from Catseye E2 Settings File 75 East-58 West 05.03.2011.rar to. Cheers. And sorry for being a pain.
