Setting up two dishes on Solo 2

blue button>vix>backup manager>green button
this will create a backup of all your existing settings and can be restored later by accessing the same menu.
handy if your tuner set up gets mixed up etc

I know that it is a steep learning curve. Do you really need a backup to restore this tuner setup? As with all tuner setups, the vital thing is that the config must match hardware.

@Stu5,please confirm that
A. You know which cable is which and that you have labelled them.
B. For the 28.2 tuner, you have set this to simple, single 28.2
C. For the tuner with coax coming from the diseqc switch, you have it set as per post 27.

For the diseqc tuner port b is 13.0e Eutelsat hot bird 13b/13c/13d

i would take a guess you have the cables mixed m8. to confirm both dishes are working o.k.
you know the 28.2 is fine. so disconnect the cable that goes from disecq to reciever. then
connect it directly to the hotbird dish. you should now have one cable to one tuner with sky
down it. and one to the other tuner with 13.0 down it. do a quick scan on both to check that
they are both working correctly. assuming they are both o.k. this will also confirm which cable
is what. then back to the disecq to reconnect as before. now i know this seems long winded.
but. because you cant visually trace your cables, this will allow you to both confirm what cables
go where. and that both sats are working correctly. now recheck the configs on the tuner to
ensure they match your hardware. if alls well everything should be o.k.
simples!

Ok so Abu suggested a manual scan on the tuner with the diseqc cable, this worked a treat and has brought up most of the missing channels. Next up is tidying up the favorites and getting an epg for all the channels.

happy dayz. you have a couple of choices for epg. crossepg seems about best for
your system and works fine with vix. but kick around a bit with different stuff
see how you get on.
