Hello guys.
Got my new box, followed the easy setup book, all the vu does is says "Starting" and then reverts back to "VU+ Solo2" and stays there.
Any help please :cry_002: Is there a factory reset I can do???
a
btw I tried to install an image, Vix, but when it asked for power button to be pressed, it just went back to "VU+ Solo2" I will try another flash and see what happens.
Hello buddy, was your solo2 being sent with a image already installed?? there should have at least been the original vu image on it.
One thing to note that when your are flashing a image onto the solo2 via the front usb socket you need to press the power button on the front of it when prompted for the re-flash process to start.
Just the factory image, I think, did not get thet far. As above I will re-try the flash again and watch very carefully.
Many thanks mckee25 I must have missed that.

you might try a fresh formatted usb stick also or even another one if its not playing ball , also you folders on the stick must be vu plus /solo2 only or it wont read it
I am Stupid, :thumbsup: misread your post. I was pressing the handset power button, and did not have the tv on :ops: I am at scree, language selection.
Hope it goes ok from here,

Got as far as tuners, and motorised, but how do I insert me longitude and latitude?? Do I have to have a keyboard on the tv screen??????? I will try that after checking the forum for clues.
a
also tried another stick
You just use the numbered buttons on your remote bud to input long/lat.
I tried that 0-9 but none of those work. I wonder if the batteries are old? it takes a while to register a button press, mmmm I have some new ones and will try again. Thanks mckee25.
The story so far vu says I have no lnb?? just fitted a brand new Inverto pro black. Should have stuck with old Invacom I think, unless rats have chewed through thr cabls near the house, if we had any. The thing is the vbox works when I enter a different position number from the vu. Abit baffled at the moment and will re-install the old lnb.

It was a duff usb stick.
menu./setup /system/remotecode/text supprt to yes . try that

b67a633f24c7bc5.jpglinuxsat-support.com/cms/attachment/16264/ This is how my tuners are set
Thank you stevejo, I thought that was teletext. Will, when I put in my position the vu will see the lnb. I will try that now, misses is nagging for me to eat.
a
Put the old lnb on but still showing no lnb. Could I have a tuner fault? or would that throw up "unable to configure tuner"?
Thanks stevejo for help on the handset.
a
what do you mean ¿¿no lnb??? I have never seen nor read about such a message...
perhaps you need to install a channel setting bouquet first??
otherwise you will just be left with the initial startup image..
install this catseye ipk
honestly, i have even trie blackhole, didn't get anywhere. Many thanks for your attachment, i will try that after I.O.M.T.T.
a
have you tried your old box again on the new lnb just to test it or the old one even , i wouldnt think its the box or tuner would be a surprise to have both tuners not work
The old box is dead, an old tm-6900 psu blown. One reason to buy another receiver and thought I would try to get into Linux.
Old tm-6900 psu dead, that is why I bought a new vu, liked the review and wanted to get into linux. Well got as far as 28.2, all channels loaded, 19.2, all channels loaded then got 1/4 way through hotbird and the box said, can't remember the exact wording, but on the lines of, sorry there is a fault please send a log to whoever. I will have to increase the time for message to appear on screen. Is the latest VIX stable or is there a better image?? Carried out another factory reset and re-installed vix 3.0.678
a
FTP this catseye settings ipk to volatile/tmp and install thru VIX..
then you can edit all sats/channels through dreamset or dreambox edit if you want..
Many thanks for the file. I have been at it all day, :beated: Just could not get vix stable or I was definitely doing something wrong, latter of the 2. Anyway, read a post from a forum member asking which update to use, (Blackhole) from the VU+ forum. had a look and thought I would try vplus_image_****************, ( dont know if I can/allowed to put links or files on the forum, new member. Loaded image and followed, mostly master G post "How to setup Vu+ with Vbox II DisEqc 1.2 Positioner, mine is a I. Many thanks master G was very helpfull. Setup tuners and 28.2, 13.0 and 1W. Got nagged a bit by the wife but she can't wait to see what this box can and will do, if I can get to grips with C**** and so on. All I can say is many thanks to all that have had an input to my strange problems. btw lnb's are ok, re-fitted the new Inverto and had my meter on it and was getting around 90-99% signal strength. I have binned those 2 free usb sticks and found my good one. This might have been some of the problem flashing Vix. Another couple of satellites to bring in and I will be a happy bunny. I was shocked when the box arrived with a new lnb and C120 and clamp, ain't it small and all that superb technology inside it??
Thank you all again, and I daresay you will be hearing from again, if thats ok,
