The details will be in the file called "settings" located in /etc/enigma2. It's the lines with "NIM" If you stop enigma2 on the new receiver by issuing the following command using Putty/Terminal, "init 4", you can transfer the file to it. Restart with "init 3"
You can use various tools, such as DreamSet and DreamboxEdit that will copy all your settings, from that /etc/enigma2 folder

Thanks guys.
Will this copy my preset satellite positions over aswell?
Please try the advice in post 2.
In enigma2, there are different contexts of "settings". One interpretation is channel lists/bouquets. I suspect that this is what the other responses refer to. They will do bouquets/channels, but they will not save your configurations. With all due respect, their responses will not fulfill your requirements. The file called "settings" which holds the values you need is not touched by channel editors. You can test the suggestions if you want.
Or issue this command using Putty which will create a file for you with only the tuner values.
cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep config.Nims > /tmp/mytunerconfig.txt

Yes, these satellite settings are in the settings file, just copy and paste the lines about it, example below of data inside my /etc/enigma2/settings file.
config.Nims.0.diseqcA=130
config.Nims.0.diseqcB=192
config.Nims.0.diseqcC=3592
config.Nims.0.diseqcD=282
config.Nims.0.diseqcMode=diseqc_a_b_c_d
config.Nims.1.configMode=nothing
config.Nims.2.multiType=1

simply use DCC and copy the file to your PC and then back to new box.No need to stop te box init 4. With other programs s DBE you can simply copy your channelist/bouquets also
Sziasztok mindenkinek,
Lecserélem a Duo-mat egy Duo2-re.
Van rá mód, hogy az összes előre beállított műholdpozíciómat átmásoljam?
Köszönöm szépen,
Jules.

Thanks again for all your help guys,
I'll try what you said and get back to you.
The file called "settings" that holds the configuration settings is held in RAM. If you do not stop Enigma2 before transferring it or editing, you will run into trouble.
Transferring configuration settings has nothing to do with channel editors. My advice is to ignore the posts about Dreamset, Dreamboxedit, e-chanenlizer for the purpose of transferring your satellite motor configuration. It is irrelevant and unhelpful to your specific issue. The advice about channel editors is useful for copying/editing/transferring bouquets/channels.

Exactly, init 4 then copy the lines as I posted from your old settings file, and init 3
Done.

Hi again,
I copied "settings" file over and rebooted the Duo2, but nothing had changed in any sat settings, or any settings.

You just need to install the DUO2 box normally. Then once you have finished a simple configuration (for sats), you login into the box (Telnet/SSH/Putty) and send the init 4 command, then copy the lines from the old settings file to the new one on the Duo2 box that concern the tuners, see example below, and after this send the command init 3.
config.Nims.0.diseqcA=130
config.Nims.0.diseqcB=192
config.Nims.0.diseqcC=3592
config.Nims.0.diseqcD=282
config.Nims.0.diseqcMode=diseqc_a_b_c_d
config.Nims.1.configMode=nothing
config.Nims.2.multiType=1
So as you can see all the lines that start by : config.Nims.
This done, you will have your satellites configuration ported from the your Duo to your new Duo2.

Did you stop enigma2 before transferring the file?
Please also run that command I posted and upload the result here.
