  • EPG Importer from DVB-C

    The data used by EPG importer is fetched and uploaded by Doglover on the PLi forum. You would need to ask him to add the references. If he already fetches and re-hosts the satellite versions, then this will be straight forward.

    Issue was at point 3. Wrong NetID/area used in ABM.


    Unfortunately, OP thinks there will be more channels than there are. He is in a Pure area, so he will not get the dead channels.

  • VM cable help setup

    It depends in what area you are in and what frequencies the xml file has listed. Pure areas only have their own channels. in Ex-CW and Telewest areas, a scan will find dead channels that do not work. So the results are mis-leading.


    You should be methodical in your approach.

    1. Have you connected the cables correctly.

    2. Do you know what system you are in? Pure NTL, ex-CW , Telewest

    3. Do you know for definite what you net Id is

    4. Have you set your tuner/s correctly. In tuner config,

    If a hybrid tuner ensure you select the correct mode. Cable or Terrestrial

    You should select UK, your cable area type, otherwise use all systems. You can leave net ID as 00000. It does not matter in the UK

    5. Most dual tuners have only one signal connection port, there is an internal splitter. You must set both tuners.


    Scanning/Bouquets:

    How do you want to "scan". You can:

    A. Use AutoBouquetsMaker which will "scan" and place the channels in the correct order for you. This depends on you having done the previous steps correctly and not have any signal/cabling issues. You must select the correct Net ID in the area selection. If the first five channels in cable entertainment bouquet work, you have the correct NetID


    B. Manually scan one transponder then use AutoBouquets Cable. Unless in a pure area, you must use correct Net ID too.


    C. Perform an Enigma2 scan and manually arrange the bouquets yourself.


    For manual scan, if you have done 1-4 correct, select provider and complete scan. In an ex-cw area you should find about 600 channels although a significant portion of these are dead channels and the results vary depending on test channels.

  • VM cable help setup

    It means you are not able to lock onto the frequency set for the selected area in ABM. It can be a number of reasons:

    Wire disconnected.

    Faulty connection.

    Faulty splitter

    Fault wiring

    Wrong area selected

    Signal issues

    Incorrect setup of tuner

  • what is different between vu+ solo 4k vs vu+ ultimo4k

    Ultimo 4k has two slots for two FBC tuner cards and a third slot for an old style tuner card. It has hdmi in. it takes a 2.5/3.5" hdd. Has legacy audio/video connections. supports audio over bluetooth.


    Solo 4K only takes a 2.5" drive. The FBC tuners are soldered on the motherboard, it also has a slot for an old style tuner card
