    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

    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.
