Channels - Tuner Assignment Loss

    Hi,


    Using BH176 on a Vu Plus Ultimo receiver (1TB hard disk), (motorised Quad LNB via VBoxII) with triple tuners (S/S2). Once tuner A is setup, tuner B is set as a loop through, tuner c as a second cable of motorised LNB. The dish is pointing at 19.2E Astra 1, it appears that I am loosing channels being displayed on screen, apart from BBC. I noticed that the flashing Satellite Dish symbol and the viewed channel as no assigned tuner? I have re-programmed the satellite positions of the VBoxII many times, but this has not solved the problem. Why is this happening? Do the tuner drivers need updating or I am missing something out? Does this receiver need a hard reset everytime there are changes to the system, in order to recognise them?


    I have considered using the VIX 3042 image, but do not know how to install the pluggins from a USB stick?


    Many thanks in advance, for all your help.


    With kind regards,

    Is this how you have always had it set up on other images? - and did you have the same issues? - if you have tuner b as a loopthrough then i am assuming you just have 2 feeds, so this behaviour would be expected if you are trying to view something on tuner b that is on a different transponder to what tuner a was last tuned to. The tuners work on a priority basis, A-B-C - so I would suggest setting up first feed on tuner A, second feed on tuner B - and if you are doing a loopthrough then use C for this. It might work better this way. With no experience of this set up I can't confirm this but as I understand, this should work better.

    news to me - images generally have an addons feed, you can install via ftp or using an addons panel such as tspanel - there is much info on this on the forum

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

    Regarding the installation setup, yes, that's correct and all seemed OK.. Before all this, I had the factory installed VIX image (Dec 2011) which crashed due to the Spinner pluggin. If available, maybe I should revert back to that image.


    Thanks for your suggestion of rearranging the tuner configuration and will update on the results, even though my current tuner configuration issue is intermittent.

    It appears that the reason behind this tuner issue is that somehow the satellite-LNB configuration had reverted to unconfigured for the remainder of the other 2 tuners. Reassigning them back cured the issue. However, I have also applied the suggested tuner configuration scenario.

    There are probably several ways to have your tuners set up - the way you watch tv and record tv will dictate what is the best way to configure things, so long as the way it is set works for your setup. I am sure there are arguments against my suggestion, and if your previous setup wasn't the cause of your current issue, then you may still find it works better for you - so long as you understand how the system prioritises tuners....
