Newbie who knows nothing

Hi Guys

i have been browsing the forum for a little while this evening and am now alot more confused then i was originally.

my duo stopped working and i got a solo2 which my mate gave me a flash for. it does autobouquet updates which is pretty much all i need.

i have now fixed my duo (red light problem) and want to use it in the spare room. i tried to flash the solo2 file on and messed it up so flased the latest firmware from openvix site.

my question now is what do i need to get it working again. i know i need to setup a sat, ccam and autobouquet.

from what i seen i have downloaded a ipk file which should put autobouquet on. am not sure how to set the correct sat or ccam. i read many posts about flashing with a premade up backup but have been unable to find these so some help here would be great. i am able to flash directly from the front and have read up on how to install the plugins also.

another question i have is i saw a plugin called TurkVod. i want to know if this will work on here and how do i install and set that up? what version do i need to download oe16 or oe20 and whats the difference between them?

i really appriciate your help and am hoping to learn more. this is all very new to me

ok the problem am having is setting up the Tuner on my duo.

i have tried to copy the settings from my working solo which is:

Tuner Settings
Configuration Mode: Simple
Mode: Single
Satalite: 28.2E Eutelsat 28A & Astra 1N/2A/2B/2F
Send DisEqC: no

problem am having is am not getting any option on Satalite, it just says nothing connected

Sat finder shows i have signal but again next to satalite its blank and if i try to slide it just crashs

any suggestions?

Check the connections on the rear of the duo..... do you have two feeds running to the duo from your dish?

have just checked the connections and both cable feeds are plugged in well and tight. i have not removed them since i did the flash and the free channels were coming through ok before i flashed

right guys i think there was an issue with my original usb stick as i decicded to flash from another one and it did the full proper process and told me to reboot. previously this did not happen. the other usb is a 64gb usb and that was being read then said something else and quickly rebooted each time. anyway...

so i flashed the image again, for the machine to get stuck on starting after reboot. i did some reading on the program and retried to flash several times with 3 different images. i have also just flashed the new boot loader and still the same. i have checked from things i have read and am very certain this is a genuine box and not a clone.

so here i am stuck again...

when you say stuck on starting, is the box showing just a red light? or is starting showing on display? if it's the first there's a thread on here re replacing capacitors, if it's the latter
try flashing the box with an older BH image ie 2.0.4, if your box is a clone the drivers in this image won't harm it, if this revives the box you can then flash with a newer appropriate image

The box was saying Starting on front displey. i have already fixed the red light issue.

i managed to flash it with openvix-3.2.004 and it booted. i have now set it up and got it working. done all the updates over internet on box also. the only thing that didnt work was the turkvod pluggin which worked on my solo but thats no issue i will try it another time again.

learned so much in last few days and tbh, now i know and have done so much its not to bad. thank you so much for all your help guys. cant wait to now experiment with other plugins and stuff :)
