Newbie questions regarding motorized tuner set up

You made the right choice mate ¬ just a little bit of teething i'd say !

lets keep your thread to the title subject -

have you tried installing your fixed dish to tuner A and configuring it to a simple fixed dish setup @ 28.2 e assuming your fixed dis is a sly mini dish !
That way you can see if your tuner A is working or not ! Cant imagine that it isn't but its a simple enough test so try it !

Assuming your TunerA is ok and you have tested it try adding a new channel list ¬ Perhaps summit your more familiar with - i like sgt flipflops personnly !¬
Then reconfigure your Tuner A to simple motorised and add the correct long/lat and you should be away ¬

:rikjaard1:

Yeah do it from the plugin section mate ¬ you could always add TSPANEL

everything you need is there !

Hi Rik

Yes definately :(. Think its worth reflashing image and starting from scratch.

YES mate ¬ start again from fresh ¬ try an image from VU+ section

On my DM800 if they were greyed out I just did an automatic scan, sounds like your channel info is out of date, or none existent.

Setup -> Service Searching -> automatic scan, but that was without a motorised setup.

if you install TS Panel go to Linuxsat Supports section, there are channel lists for motorised setup's and there are lists for those just interested in 28.2.

You might be best using one of the backup images as a starting point.

Its down to personal taste, your best off getting one image working make a backup of it and try images from the other teams.

Good afternoon all.

Couldnt get vix 3 going at all so reflashed with older 2.4.96 and loaded up channel list and it was fine. Motor works properly and all things working great.

Thanks for all your help :)

Another small question. If I send another channel list from dbedit will that replace the exisitng list or can it go alongside the one I already have?

Thanks in advance

It will wipe the older channel list from the receiver, replacing it with the one you just transferred over. If your looking for a multisat bouquet try one of the Vhannibal ones, or if your brave enough to try, merge say for example the MR.mister 28.2 east pack with another and get the best of both worlds.

Ye the mr mister one is great so might have a go at merging 2. I take it its just a case of merging the 2 on dbedit?

Diolch yn fawr iawn :)

yes pretty much, also the newer MR.mister bouquets also contain the new ViX / OE-A style placeholders. allowing your receiver to skip over placeholders while zapping through channels, there are a lot neater than any others available and only available via these bouquets or if your using ViX you could download the Autobouquet plugin from the feeds and use that to create your 28.2 east bouquets as this also ( the ViX /OE-A VERSION) also contains these new style placeholders, along with a auto scheduling feature.

You can attempt to merge two boquest as phoenix said, there is also an addon that is around somewhere which is a beta which auto updates 28.2 but doesn't overwrite your existing channel list.

My personal choice are Dreambox uk's 28.2, using B16MCC's frontend to generate them, as it fully replicates s*y uk channel numbers and catseyes for multisat but I haven't attempted to combine them, I would like to do it, but haven't had the time to commit to it yet.
