  • Port forwarding

    the make is a HUAWEI HG635 and port forwarding is long winded but easy when you do it once. This is a bit from memory, so you are logged on. select internet. select port forwarding


    1. select port mappimg, 2. click new port mapping, 3. mappimg name, give it what you want. 4. application from drop dwn wiindow selct, i choose dns.5 click on add port mapping application. 6. scroll down and click on port mapping. 7 fill in name, then entyer port number if one port end will be same, enter same for internal, click save. By the way I usually choose tcp/udp but I dont use al lot. when you click save you will see the item you have port forwarded. click edit, clcik add port mapping, scroll down and see your device cliick edit to see ports. Hope this helps but boy its long winded.


    just to add see this video!


  • CCcam and cardsharing setup newbie.

    ask your friend much easier, in fact get them to show you. If you are really keen dont waste your time with cheap boxes, get a proper one that will accept all the best images, get a solo2, with a usb stick for wpg, and an internal hdd for recording. go to the sponsor on here world of sat and the solo2 is a good price. Then when you have a proper box its a lot easier to get help. You can even sell on the solo2 when you want to mess with cheaper boxes.

  • Aligning dish with two LNBs to work with Thor 0.8W and and Astra 4A 4.8E

    yes you have 2 tuners on solo2 so two cables required, then you can record on one sat and watch on another, hole for 2 cables is not much bigger.


    Just load a satlelitelisting that has all the sats, I use catseyes then select 0.8w go to al jazeera etc, then select 4.8e I found quite a few free to air, a open is music. you can then use dremabox edit to delete the other sats etc

  • Aligning dish with two LNBs to work with Thor 0.8W and and Astra 4A 4.8E

    Oops I missed that bit about solo2. The good news is I have a solo2 as well but with a very old BH2.0.7 image!! You are almost sorted. I use a fixed dish on lnb1 and a motorised dish on lnb2. You should not need a diseq switch. So if you get 99% on thor then you have that lnb sorted but I always use a channel so try al jazeera. The next bit while still on thor try both polarities, ie H and V. There is a gospel channel thats FTA as well.


    The solo2 has 2 tuners so use LNB1 for thor and lnb2 for 4.8e. I use green button to change satellites.


    If you get 99% on thor then it means you have dish pointing directly at thor, you dont need 99% so connect up 4.8east, select a channel and say its 59% then move whole dish assembly , not a lot only fractions and get over 70% then check thor if thats still 90% or better move a bit more. Once you have best possible signal on both sats then you can tweak the lnbs, but that may not even be neccessay. NB You dont skew a dish you only skew an lnb. In your fisrt post it says skew for 0.8thor is 7.6% and if you look closely at top of lnb you will see lines, dead straight is 0% each one is 5% and it can be either left or right. You skew when looking from the front so again on first post I would turn lnb to the right or clockwise. Do same for other lnb uSing dishpointer reference.


    There is another step in the process and that is tuning the lnb for the dish, called focal length, what you can do is move lnb in and out from dish but again your block may be configured correct from the outset. You would be surprised what moving lnb towards dish or away from dish can do.


    The end result is a compromise as you are not pointing directly as either satelite but in your location you should get a very good signal on both.


    Why are you using a diseq switch?


    NB when adjusting LNB make a note of the existing position first.


    On your photo it should read other way round, thor is astra astra is thor, its called a mirror image, the signal hits dish on right and bounces back to the left so east is right and west is left!!! did I just write that:clap:

  • Aligning dish with two LNBs to work with Thor 0.8W and and Astra 4A 4.8E

    You need to give a bit more information, the important bit is the make and mdel of your receiver, it might be a, cheap, b, have a poor tuner, c, the software may be poor. A lot of the channels on those sats are encrypted so you need a subscription. The usaul procedure for getting sats is buy receiver, load a list of channels already prepared, select sat and away you go. You are trying the hard way, ie scan sat and so on. You have a twin lnb setup that is specifically designed to received two sats. Does your receiver have a tuners, ie two lnb inputs?? You cant get 100% signal with that setup . Its a compromise so you aim for best signal that wont break up in case of rain or snow. Did you assemble the duo as shown in the photo? It has to be excact.


    Al jazeera is free to air on 0.8west use that to get a signal. I cant get 4.8e.


    A quad lnb is just a single lnb with 4 outputs it will always point at one satellite.

  • Aligning dish with two LNBs to work with Thor 0.8W and and Astra 4A 4.8E

    You dont use a duo block to pick up one satellite. You need a quad lnb, get an inverto black ultra. A duo block is used to pick up two satellites, usuually in mid europe for 13east and 19east.


    You could try moving the dish ever so slightly to the left as you look from behind but best to get a quad lnb and then you can take dead aim at 0.8w. What is your location roughly?

  • DCC Help

    what version of DCC are you using? And what OS, win7 etc. Did you reboot box and check lan cable? And when you say connect to network what do you mean? I assume you mean the box? are you using correct password/username

  • Setting up tuners on VUsolo2

    Hi


    Read you first post again. If you only have one cable connected to one dish you only need one Tuner and it can be either A or B but I found that using tuner B better and as you are motorised you have to use either USALS or diseqc so the bit about tuner A and loop through is a total no no. Just connect cable from motorised dish to LNB2 and do this , simple, positioner, longitude put in yours, west unless you are beyond london ie toward kent then its east, latitude and that is north. save and your done.


    use this link for usals its even easier than the other methods, just type in your address and read off the 2 figures lat and long.

    For A just say " not configured"


    And can you say what image you are using? In fact you should always quote image when posting and if you are using a mac instead of a windows pc was we all assume its windows. The more information the easier it is to answer. Also if you are confused about USALS just say so as well. I doubt if cable is wrong as you did say you had a picture.
