    You are taking too long to respond. If you want help, please answer the questions asked of you and provide the information requested.


    Here is a sample HARDWARE configuration diagram. I am guessing as you are not forthcoming with response.

    Issue this command and upload the file it creates in /tmp directory

    cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep config.Nims > /tmp/mytunerconfig.txt


    Your LNB has 24 SCR. If you connect the Hardware correctly and configure software to match, you can access 16 Transponders independently. If each transponder has 8 channels, you can theoretically record/view/stream 128 channels. This is subject to network bandwidth and encryption that the channels use. There are bugs that the some images have when you get over 40 channels though!

    Picture of wiring please, it avoids all the questions. and prevents misunderstanding.


    What is tuner configuration of each tuner?


    Is there only 1 channel on each Transponder on 30w?

    You have edited your post while I was responding to your initial post. My answer now does not fit, please ignore parts of my last post that do not apply, as you have unicable.


    Draw a picture of your wiring please.

    Which LNB are you using? ( I want to establish how many SCR it has.)

    Are all 16 tuner set correctly? Correct = match the reception hardware each tuner can access.

  • FBC tuner

    I presume you have two tuner cards, not four cards. So you have a total of 16 tuners. But only 4 connection points.


    A universal LNB can only be in one plane/polarity at a time. For example, if it get the voltage to be in high polarity, it cannot receive channels in low polarity. A unicable LNB or switch does not have this restriction. If you are using a universal LNB, the 6 tuners on each card will only work in internal loop through mode.


    There is no simple answer to your question because it depends on what transponders you are accessing. And how many wires you have to the receiver from the LNB. I have got to 30 channels with one card (i.e 8 tuners) using a universal LNB.


    It's not channels, its transponders. For each tuner with independent signal, it can independently access a transponder. Even a DM800 with one tuner can record/stream as many channels as they are on transponder.


    You should get a unicable LNB and splitter if you want to get the most of your receiver/tuners.

    What do you mean exactly?

    I asked you to explain what you want to do, but you just mentioned a provider. You will get better help if you are more explicit/clearer about what you want to do.


    I have already given you directions on what to do. I don't know what you have done and at what stage you are at. Please have a look at the guide by kiddac, it is more for UK users, so ignore what is not relevant to you. In AutoBouquetsMaker, you can create a bouquet for Canal +.

    OpenATV 7.* setup guide by KiddaC
    I have been asked a few times if I can make a new setup guide for latest OpenATV 7.* versions.

    So lets go through the motions again, as a few things have changed since my original OpenATV 6.4 setup guide.

    Although this guide is using openatv image, it can be used as a base for any image. They are all pretty much the same process.

    *note before you start a new flash - a reflash clears most things off your box. Make sure you have copies of all important information before continuing.
    clines, nlines,…

    Once again, you will get better help if you clearly explain what you want to do. Also say what you have done so far. People are willing to help you, but nobody here is a mond reader.

    What is the most complete picture you can recommend ?

    What do you mean exactly?


    Please just flash ATV 7.51, enable the chkroot multiboot. From the plugin servers, Install Xstreamity, m3uiptv, bouquet maker xtreme, EPGImporter.


    Install the secret feed, then install oscam-emu

  • auto timer

    As I said, all that an AutoTimer does is create a timer.


    Whether you set a timer automatically or manually, it's still a timer. Its the timers that invoke the channel zapping/recording.


    You can always check the timers that have been set in the menu.

  • auto timer

    Recording taking place and timers being set are two different things. Autotimer just sets the timers.


    Please check your timers.xml file in /etc/enigma2 It should show what was set.

  • Do I need to change my oscam to the Icam version for Ubuntu & 098D Germany

    You are going about this incorrectly in my opinion. The PC has a card reader. Your STBs are connecting to the PC and decrypting the services on that card. When the STBs want to use services that your friend is sharing with you, they should be connecting to your friend.


    There may be a way for you to re-share in which case you will need to ensure the reader is in correct format.


    As an aside, can you not use the card reader in your receivers instead of keeping the PC on all the time?

  • Not finding satellite channels during a scan.

    Have a look at the LNB for any obvious damage, sometimes the plastic cover at front of the LNBs wear out.


    Which receiver please? How many wires are connected to the LNB? How many connection points on tuners do you have on your receiver? How many tuners have direct signal wires from dish/LNB?


    Note: Every tuner with a signal wire should be set as simple, single, 28.2. Any tuner without a direct wire should be set as disabled/not configured.


    Edit:

    Have any trees grown in front of dish that could obstruct reception.

    If you use OpenATV/OpenViX, you can use chkroot multiboot and have several images. These must be the first image in flashas they contain kernel changes to support the functionality. I am not sure if the PLI-custom builders have enabled the function.

    Chkroot Multiboot Support for EMMC Devices
    I will reproduce here the full post of @Captain! It refers to a generalization of MultiBoot
    support for EMMC based receivers other than those to which the Kexec Multiboot method
    was applied! Essentially ... everything starts from the "clean" installation of an OpenATV
    image more recent than the one published on 29 Apr 2025!

    Chkroot Multiboot


    Chkroot is a method used in the Linux environment to detect and prepare root
    filesystems for alternate boot configurations. By default, Multiboot is disabled

    For images that do not support chkroot multiboot, you can install the multiboot selector plugin (after you have booted into those images), that will allow you to boot out of those images.

    Multiboot Selector Plugin by @WXbet
    Having a Multiboot support in OpenATV just solved the big problem
    of forgotten good STB's ! VU+ and Dreambox have the main benefits !
    This is a half of the problem ! into the Multiboot you can install some
    old images , still interesting, with no Multiboot Manager support !
    Once you enter into a old image ... you become captive there , no way
    back into Multiboot !

    Multiboot Selector Plugin just solve in general manner , for the 3
    known Multiboot systems organized thru OpenATV ... KExec (VU+) ,
    ChkRoot (…
