The lnb is a quad lnb... Each coax cable to three different rooms.. I thought diseq was for switching from one lnb to another?

It is but I notice that you'll pick up a lot more channels if you enable it for some reason

No diseq ain't the problem mate its ment to be disabled. I don't really know where to advise you next.

If you go to satfinder are you getting signal there? If you are in don't really know then pal it just seems like it's autoboquets is the problem not picking up the channels.

I have both my tuners configured to simple and single and 28.2 with diseq switched off.

Clareman · 09-09-2016 9:20pm

I just checked mine and I've both set to Single and Simple with Disque set to no

bbari · 09-09-2016 9:21pm

I was having the same issue. One of the tuners didn't have any cable in it, once I disabled the tuner it worked right away.

Are you missing the cable in one of the ports or is it loose ?

So if you have one cable - disable the Tuner B i.e. don't configure it. Run Autobouqet and it will be fine then...

Tuner A should be Simple-Single-28.2E-No.

Loose/short connection ?
Are you getting all of the missing channels in the other rooms ?
try the box in a different room just incase your cable is faulty ?

Running manual scan 28.2...20% done only 60 channels... Can't understand why it only picking up subset of available ones

Same cable in Ariva all channels... The core might be a little short so will try re fitting in the morning... Feel like it's setting related as every scan brings I slightly different list of channels

bbari · 09-09-2016 9:42pm

Tell us which channel you are missing - I'll give you the freq and you can try to find it via manual scan ?

Which OS you are using ?

Have u 1 or 2 sat wires feeding ur 2 tuners
If only one wire in
You need to disable the second tuner.
And scan again
I had similar problem because that

I'm using open vix myself, double check the cable I guess, failing that flash it again.

Do automatic instead instead.
If still nothing
Then there a problem with wires/dish

I also think there's an issue with the cable. He's picking all the channels in other room that means the dish is ok.

Yeah I've given up... Automatic scan only picked up handful of Channels.. Made no sense as say channel 5 hd came in and itv hd.. But not BBC one... Channels like eir sport tuned but not sky... Just weird.. When you switched to any channel that I had tuned from my own setup in Dublin get tuner configuration message.. I dunno not worth wasting hours trying to get sorted.. Thanks for all the replies

Clareman · 10-09-2016 12:05pm

Sounds to me like there's a fault with the lnb

I don't know.. Its feeding three single tuner boxes and they all working fine...

Clareman · 10-09-2016 12:46pm

Might be a problem with 1 of the ports, either that or it's a cabling issue, or a problem with the box of course.

And tuner 2 disabled

Hi homer I'll pm you and maybe just delete your post on here to keep everyone happy.

Pacifico · 26-09-2016 7:39pm

Anyone had an issue with remote inputs? Remote works fine for changing channels etc but cannot enter text or change IP addresses for example. On text input it just shows up as an F no matter what number i press...! Using OpenVix

onewinger · 28-09-2016 2:22pm

Also have the same problem - RTE1 RTE2 TG4 and a few other random channels showing in providers list but when clicked on - "Tune Failed" message appears. Majority all other channels are perfect including Sky Sports & Sky Movies.
Several scans and new bouquets added but to no avail.

rescanning doesn't update the channel frequency in the individual bouquets unless its rescanned thru Autobouquet. Those channels you mentioned do work, try them in all channels list...

Go to your satellite finder and make sure you have signal on both tuners. Go to tuner a and b.

onewinger · 28-09-2016 3:26pm

All channel list only shows the affected channels once so still have the same error there.

I have only one feed into Tuner A and Tuner B is set to Loopthrough A. I have signal of approx 89 on Tuner A at the moment

Have you got a feed looping threw tuner b? Try setting it not configured if you can and see if the problem is there.

bbari · 28-09-2016 7:35pm

RTE One Frequency is 12265 H 27500 5/6
Do a manual scan and see if its picked up.

onewinger · 11-10-2016 2:48pm

Affected channels finally showed once a second feed was installed and connected to Tuner B. Tuner B still set to Loopthrough Tuner A so its a funny one. All is working fine since

I always as a rule of thumb turn off second tuner if it doesn't have two live lnb connected. One lnb feed really messes with enigma 2 from my experience.

Likewise. If I don't turn off the Tuner B (when I have one feed only), I am not able to download the epg.

Yep and channels not tuning and extremely slow menus.

I have mine just over a year now and have never had lip sync problems, two friends have one also and they have never mentioned any issues. Wouldn't have a clue what would cause that, can't find any relevant setting in my box running on Vix.

Blowheads · 07-11-2016 3:15pm

Hi All,
Anyone have a good and working image for the Vu+ solo2 that they care to share?
Gives me nothing but bother on RTE1/2 TV3
Thanks!

Clareman · 07-11-2016 3:25pm

I use Blackhole on mine and have a USB tuner with no issues. Other people have great things to same about OpenVix, especially the Hades version.

If it was me, I'd go for the latest release on the site and if I didn't like it I'd throw the latest Hades on it afterwards, shouldn't take long to flash the box.

Blackhole 3.0, it's rock solid and I don't have the time to put another image on it as it's the main TV.

Blowheads · 07-11-2016 3:58pm

you have a link to that image set?
does it come preloaded with ABM, CrossEPG, etc?

Clareman · 07-11-2016 4:00pm

http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/forums/vu-solo2-black-hole-images.78/

It doesn't come pre-loaded with a lot of software which is 1 of the main reasons I got it, I mainly use my box as a Plex player so I cut everything else out.
