[VU+ Solo2] Channel 4 HD (28.2E) not found during scan

[Grinnders]

Hi guys,

After a recent thread about my Technomate TM2600 failure I rescanned by sats once up and running. I noticed today that I no longer have Channel 4 HD. I do have C4, C4+1, E4, E4 +1, More4, More4+1

I know on my Humax Freesat HDR I lost C4HD quite a while ago after increased 'carriage fees' (https://www.whathifi.com/news/freesat-loses-channel-4-hd-and-all4-over-carriage-fee-dispute) , but at that time I did retain it on the VU+ solo2.

The recent scan has rendered the previous entry to be <N/A>. i'm not sure if this is coincidence or whether my new Satellites.xml doesn't scan the right frequencies, or whether the channel doesn't exist anymore. But even if it was locked down to Sky only, surely it shoudl find it on the scan and just be scrambled for me???

Does anyone know the manual scan settings that cover the transponder frequency to see if it's a subtle tuning problem, a satellites.xml problem, or that it's just not available.

With regards to being locked down to Sky, decryption and reception are two different things. You are right, a scan will find it.

Unless anyone can see your xml file and compare, or establish the source of your file, it is pure speculation as to whether yours is correct or not. The one used by the OE-A alliance is updated at least once a week on Saturday. People who do not want to update their image can install the plugin and update the xml file only if they want.

The frequency did change some time ago.

Details below:

11126V

Thanks for that. It did find it on a manual scan (with 4seven)

I sourced my custom file from Satellites-xml.org (created within my setup limits)

I was worried about using a universal one in case it drove my motorised dish beyond it's hardware limits during a scan. I'll have a read up on OE-A Alliance. Merry Christmas & Cheers
