[VU+ Duo2] Help Setting up my Vu+Duo 2 from scratch

[iain.y]

Guys apologies for the silly questions in advance as I am completely new to this. I don’t have any TV so I really would like to get this set-up tonight

I was advised by a kind member to download Rob's ViX Manual. But its allot of reading for a newbie. Once I have the basics I will read it over. So please help

Just purchased a Vu + Duo (2x twin dvd-s2 Tuner HD Enigma
I have a fixed old Sky dish

Box arrived with the latest Vix software installed from WOS. I formatted the box the first time because I didn’t do the wizard settings. The Box still displays the WOS logo and VIX so I take it this still remains after a format...... hopefully ?
I tried to follow the easy set-up guide and it finds 600 odd channels but isn’t displayed when I select one.

First silly Question on the back of the box I have 2 x Tuners A & B I have 2 cables from my dish do they both go in to A or does one go in A and the other in B?

Next is the Tuner set up

I have Tuners A TO D
I have set-up Tuner A as it states in the Guide
Mode DiSEqC A/B
Port A Astra 19.2e
Port B Hotbird 13.0e

Tuner B states the type should be DVB-T. I don’t have this option for some reason so I think I seen somewhere I should set it the same as A

I have no TV 

if you only have a fixed dish your only able to get 1 sat on 28.2
tuners a and b usually set the same SIMPLE ----SINGLE---28.2

that would mean you can view and record at the same time.
other tuners might be for cable/terrestrial which you might not have.

It sounds like you have bought the quad sat tuner version which means you can connect 4 satellite cables, as for channels read how to set up ABM, auto bouquets maker.
