  • hi guys i have solo 2
    but can not record 1 channel and watch another 1
    i have vix image version 37 apollo


    tuner A set as simple - single - 28.2
    tuner B equal to tuner A
    fixed dish
    thanks

  • if both tuners are set the same to 28.e then it should work, your on a very old image vix are on around 107 i think, might be worth updating, dont know if you can access the vix feeds with an image that old though.


    tuner setting
    configuration mode=simple
    mpde=diseqc A/B
    port a=28.e eutelsat/astra 2a/2e/2f
    port b = nothing connected
    set voltage=yes
    send diseqe on sat change=yes


    you have to have both tuners set to this


    these settings work for me on my solo2 appollo 100

  • configuration mode=simple
    mode =single
    satellite =
    28.e eutelsat/astra 2a/2e/2f
    send diseqe=no


    on both tuners

    menu/setup/system/customise/ preffered tuner =auto

    swap the feeds over on the back to make sure both are working


    if its a cline and not a local card try record 2 free channels first as your line might not allow decoding of 2 channels or multiroom as payservers put it

  • Hard to say from here , could be a tuner issue also , best thing to do is make a full backup and back up the settings as you are now , go into vix with the blue button /image manager press yellow for downloads get a new copy and flash your box go thru the basic setup and try again with 2 free channels before you bother with cams etc all you need to do is setup abm for a channel list and the tuners , i assume picture in picture wont work either if you watch say bbc1 and sly sports

  • No they work seperate and have their own 12v output to feed power to the lnb

    The only way to find whats wrong is by elimination , the feeds are ok , the lnb is then ok ,if you do a fresh flash and the issue is still there once both tuners are setup and you have a channel list it has to be on the box , its not your drive because you can record one channel ,the only other thing it can be is a faulty tuner

    final test before all hope is lost is try it on a friends dish because i have heard of faults where an lnb only plays up once both feeds are connected to it


    I hope this helps you out

  • Looks like who ever you get your line off only allows one connection.
    If you've spent all that money on a solo2 you want to utilise that and read up on sharing yourself. Plenty of info and help on here as I've found out myself
