[VU+ Solo2] Tuner configuration searching Diseqc port A searched when nothing connected

[datamoonkey]

Hi
I have a strange set up due to previous dishes being scrapped - minidish on 28E into a Diseqc switch on port C - nothing else. I have the feed from the switch into tuner 1 on my Solo2. The switch is on the roof so inaccessible by me!
Was working fine today until I tried to update TSMedia - this seems to have overwritten the tuner configuration settings which I cannot now return to their previous state. In Tuner Configuration I try to set port A as not connected and port C to automatic, but when I save this it goes to a message saying "Checking Tuner 0 DiSEqC port A for Astra 2 28.2e" with an Abort option (which is not usable). The box just sits there and I am forced to reboot to get an life back.
Any advice on how to get back to where I was will be gladly received, particularly by my wife
thanks

ignore signature, I'm now on Zeus 23. Will edit that shortly.

Don't use automatic, set all other ports to not configured & C to 28.2E.
Zeus 23 still pretty old by the way, also no reason TSMedia should mess with your tuner config.

Thanks judge. That's the set up I had before, but now I only have options of "automatic" or "nothing connected"... perhaps I have a satellites file missing?

Re Zeus, Yeah, automatic updates seem to have stopped working and I've never bothered to "fiddle" while it was still working.

You could try a fresh sattelite xml from http://satellites-xml.org/

Maybe time to flash a current build though as somethng messed up on your box.

Thanks. New satellites file in etc/enigma2 has at least sorted freesat channels - will try to sort out rest later which are now not tuning. As you say, may be time to look up how to flash again and do that.
