Please post a screenshot of your tuner configuration.

I don't know why you are using Dreamboxedit. Receiver has signal finder and surely is better. Never mind.

Not sure why ABM's frequency finder did not create a provider file for you, lets forget it for now. I would appreciate it later.

Can you please also say which image you are using. If ATV, please say the date too

Please follow these instruction

1. In tuner configuration, set the tuner as "My local region". This will be from the xml Terrestrial Scan created for you.

2. Then remove Terrestrial services.

With no menus showing, press UP (above OK, near middle of remote), the service list/bouquets will be shown

Press Green for Satellites/orbital

Highlight Terrestrial services

Press Menu

Remove/delete the Terrestrial services

Confirm the removal

Restart

3. After the receiver restarts, please stay away from Automatic scan. Do not use ABM either.

4. Select Manual scan. Select the tuner for Terrestrial.

Individually, select and scan the multiplexes for Emley Moor .

5. Once completed, restart the box. check all the Terrestrial Services . It is important you do not use the bouquets, use the Service list. Do not press the EPG button.

6. If everything is in order, transfer lamedb to PC, zip it and attach it here.

I don't understand this

Tuner A2= Tuner A1

Tuner A3= Tuner A1

Tuner A4= Tuner A1

Tuner A6= Tuner A5

Tuner A7= Tuner A5

Tuner A8= Tuner A5

And when you say you have two FBC tuners, do you mean you have two tuner units, i.e 16 tuners? Or do you mean one unit with two physical inputs and 6 socketl-ess tuners. totla of 8 tuners?

"=" means "the same". If you told the receiver Tuner A1 has a diseqc switch with certain satellites, and then you also tell it A1 is the same as A2, it would mean that there is an identical diseqc switch with inputs from the same satellites as those hooked up to tuner A1. This is different to what you described earlier. Also, you cannot have 8 diseqc switches, it is physically impossible because an FBC module/tuner unit has two co-axial F-plug sockets to connect to. ( I am ignoring the committed/not committed where you can have up to 64 LNBs to one tuner, nothing to do with FBC tuners.)

If you only have one FBC unit. i.e two connection inputs ( i.e total of 8 tuners). And you had two diseqc switches connected to the module/unit, the setup should be:

Tuner A1 as pictured in my previous post

Configuration Mode = simple

Mode = DiSEqC A/B/C/D

Port A = 16E

Port B = 13E

Port C = 1.9E

Port D =0.8W

Tuner A2 almost as the same as the previous picture. Just change the satellites

Configuration Mode = simple

Mode = DiSEqC A/B/C/D

Port A =19.2E

Port B = 23.5E

Port C = 28.2E

Port D = 33E

Tuners A3-A8 should all be left FBC automatic. (FBC automatic means internal loop through.) You only ever configure these if you are using a unicable LNB.

If the above does not help, please post a picture of the back of your receiver to show the wires connected to it. If possible draw a diagram to show the physical setup of your lnbs/dishes/switches.

Look for item 274978224202 on ebay. There is a phone number, ring him after 09:00 he will explain what you need to do to get it to fit. He also said it involves modifying your dish.

The right setup is for software config for each tuner (tuner configuration) to match hardware configuration for that tuner.

If you have a diseqc switch with four ports, you would set it as

Configuration Mode = simple

Mode = DiSEqC A/B/C/D

Ports to match where each LNB is pointing to.

According to the freeview website, you should be using following UHF channels

47, 44, 41, 33, 36, 48

Terrestrial scan will create a terrestrail.xml file in /etc/enigma2

I see you found it. You will need to zip them before you can attach to the forum.

EDIT:

ABM's frequency finder should create a terrestrial_finder.xml in following location

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

Linux is case sensitive, so just paste those paths or open a folder one by one instead of typing.

Please upload the files both plugins create so that we can update them. Terrestrial scan plugin will create a terrestrial.xml. ABM will create a provider file.

Just for future reference, manual scan allows you to select/specify what you scan. But you would have to select one frequency at a time.

Terrestrial scan plugin is better that the scanning in Enigma2 as it probes all the frequencies and uses only those that have services and prefers stronger ones. It uses same logic as Frequency finder in ABM.

epg on differant english channels not working for weekly (pick also) .I do first crossepg and after that epgimporter and have full week for all channels

Doglover said there is an issue with the website he was grabbing EPG from. He is looking into it.

EDIT:

Should be fine now.

radicaldoc, you really need to say that you are using 27.5w to avoid confusion. Most people would assume you are using 28.2.

What is the service reference of the channel? I posted a few references you had from one forum onto the forum where Doglover maintains the EPG. If the reference I posted is not the correct one, please update the thread.

Quote from just for test

VU+ DUO 4K SE is really bad STB

What makes you say that? Apart from not having the legacy tuner port , it is more or less the same as the Ultimo 4K.

The Duo 4K uses a different SOC/CPU to the Duo 4K SE. I think it is a bad idea to use an image for one receiver on a different receiver. But each to their own.

There are none. Apparently the drivers on some boxes do not play ball. Just like 1080 skins caused an issue and required driver changes on some boxes.

Most people watch what is on the TV and occasionally check how long left. Do you really want how long is left of the program to obscure your viewing of the program? Surely check it and let it timeout by itself. If you have set it to not time out, do not press the exit button and it will always be there forever. I think second infobar (press OK twice) on ATV works slightly differently to other images and does not time out. (Not 100% sure though)

Signal finder is in the same place as all the tuner/scanning applets/plugins. On ATV it is the "Reception" group. Other images have them in "Tuners and scanning/Service Searching"

If you are checking signal, you can use the signal finder applet. Pressing Exit will exit the current screen almost everywhere. Otherwise people would be locked in and be unable to do anything else.

The ET8500 has a 1.3 MHz chip. I have seen Oscam with icam patch work on a receiver with a 400MHz chip.

Try them and decide for yourself. They all have their slight quirks.

In the absence of your definition of the word support, I have the following to say:

Xtrend as a business has closed down several years ago. OpenPLi and others still make images for them. Although Dreambox went closed source many many years ago, OpenPLi still make images for the boxes they used to make images for and will do so until the drivers no longer allow it to work. When was the last driver update for the Solo2? It still works withot many notable issues being posted.

Various image teams have their own policies/criteria for which receivers they make and when they will stop doing so. Some have limited resources and will continue to make images for popular receivers but do not have enough resources for more powerful/less popular receivers. Others have more resources and continue to make images for very old receivers including making adaptations to keep them going. OpenATV have a 7.3 image for a Vu+ Solo ( the first one). So you need to decide what your requirements for "support" are.

There are not many receivers with FBC capabilities or multi-tuner capabilities. The Duo 4K has these. It is a very capable box. If it has the hardware/features you need/want, it will be a good purchase.

But what do you actually mean by the word "support"?

The box has been out for a while, using the same chip as ultimo4k. If it meets your requirements ( depending on what you mean by "support"), it is a good box.
