[VU+ Solo2] USB sundtek cable tuner scanning problems

[Peterj]

In this case ABM uses:
freq: 643
symbol rate: 06887
modulation: 64-QAM

found same issue, is there updated cable.xml so 6952 would work with automatic scan ?

Thanks

In your tuner config you can key in an alternative symbol rate to search on.
I doubt if you need a separate cable XML. I don't have one for my provider and automatic scan is working very well, provided that you key in correct parms to in tuner config.

i have a solo 2 with dvb c usb tuner, works well, can get list using ABM fine, just as some channels are testing cant get them with ABM so need to do a scan, i did find cable.xml file for uk 6952 and it scanned but only found around 400 i think it might have been a old cable.xml file

i just tried what you suggested and just crashes

Virgin UK uses different symbol rates.
netid 000xx : 6887
netid 40xxx : 6952
netid 41xxx : 6952
netid 42xxx : 6887

ya i know my ID is as ABM works fine, thought i could just do a automatic scan just knowing if its either 6952 or 6887 . mines 6952, i ftp older cable.xml and it worked but as its old it missed some channels

Here you will find a lot of freq information of Virgin.

I think its to do with the sundtek usb cable tuner, having to automatic scan, inbuilt DVB C tuner scans fine with automatic scan,

Renew your Sundtek Control Center and drivers.

563 channels. Now I can try out the HD test channels for sports 3 and 4.

Err no, they don't clear with current entitlements, it was only on the first phase of testing they was clear, so manual scanning doesn't really achieve anything over ABM...
P.s. Sky sports 3, 4 and F1 launch in HD on July 15th on VM so not long to wait.

Do you know what the changelog is for the drivers?
Thank you.

If you have a setup that clears Sport1&2 HD then that also clears Sport3,4& F1 HD. These are still shown as Channel A,B & C in your list, but they will clear.

Hi
What's the zapping/clearing times like? Is it sluggish or as good as the built in tuners on a duo/solo?

My entitlements are valid for Sport 1&2 in HD but they don't clear AB&C..., could it be a regional thing?

Cable ECM is usually a lot higher than for sky sat so the initial clearing can take a few seconds, but once you are clearing and zapping its pretty speedy on a duo2/solo2 being mipsel based, be warned these Sundtek tuners are not guarenteed to work with USB tuners from other vendors, their arrogance on this matter is quiet amusing really.

its fast i was surprised just as fast as internal tuner would be, only slight increase to zap if your coming from sat channel to cable but really not a big deal,

I am now clearing AB&C TBH it's a few weeks since I checked.

Hi, i did do a clean flash of latest build of vix apollo build 14, and got sundtek from plugins , i still just cant scan automatically with the usb tuner, but internal same settings picks all up, so dont think its sorted, but its not a big issue really

Must be a USB tuner issue, I've installed the latest sundtek control center/drivers from the official sundtek website as the one in the feeds are outdated but still the same issue....manual scan works fine so I'm happy with that [emoji106]
