    Great news I managed to fix it everything

    is working perfectly I did a reflash of the box and I take it must of been a corrupt file .


    Thanks You saved me big time . I would have hate to buy new tuners, it would of cost me a few hundred.


    It is the 2nd problem I have had with it since I bought it a few years ago . Someone on this forum helped me power supply problem I had with it . They don’t tend to make triple tuner sat boxes anymore and hate to part with it .

    I have a Vu zero so I remote the channels list

    To that box and the channels work on that box like Rte 1 which only has audio no picture on my Vu + .

    I checked any other box by plugging in the cable from the aerial and all the Irish channels work perfectly. I haven’t checked the satellite channel .


    So basically I can stream the channel to my phone and Vu zero box no issues with pictures or audio .


    Thanks

    Okay

    I have managed to check other satellite box and all the channels work for my Irish channels no issues yet I can’t check the other satellites because the box doesn’t support it .


    The hdmi cables all work .

    It was working perfectly up to recently like everything but had to readjust the motor dish because we had a bad storm . It affected the time and date so it took me a while to fix.


    I haven’t done any updates because the image didn’t need any . The box crashed when tryd to use cross epg app and that is the only recent change .


    I haven’t changed anything recently or done anything else .

    Would you suggest a fresh install of the image ?


    Thanks for all the help and advice

    Just a bit more info .

    Vu ultimo 4k box .

    3 tuners, 1 is for aerial .

    Openatv image . Latest version.


    So the aerial is for Irish tv . Signal strength is 99% all channels .

    so everything is free , rte 1 channel frequency channels don’t work I think it has 3 or 4 channels.

    So rte2 is on a different frequency and the other channels on the same frequency work .


    Multi lnb setup for one tuner so tuner a

    The 2nd tuner is for motor setup .

    So canal+ sports works with signal 47%

    But canal + action doesn’t with signal 47% (no video) just audio , Astra 23 I think .

    Satellites are up to date .


    Changed the hdmi cables out for a new one plug straight into the tv same issue no video but audio is grand . No change .

    I did have them plugged into the amp .

    Tryd different hdmi ports as well .


    Tryd cables with 2nd box and the cables work but didn’t check channels .

    Hi

    Does anyone know how tell if the tuner is failing or faulty?

    So I am getting a blank screen with just audio ,

    The signal is 90% on the channel. I have checked the same channel on other box and it is perfect and streamed it to my phone with openwebif .

    I have checked other channels on the aerial half work prefect and the other are black screen with just audio .

    I scanned each satellite individually.


    I used automatic scan on the sat box to scan the for channels .


    I do know the dish moves when I go signal finder and change the satellite.


    I add channels to favourites bouquet I made and then go through the channels. The channels are on different satellites . But the channels don’t switch.


    I scanned the satellites on the sat metre and it switches grand and moves the dish .


    Just say I switch from Astra 28 to hotbird 13 channels grand on the sat finder but when I plug the cable into the box it doesn’t switch.


    Thanks for the reply

    Hi

    I have a vu ultimo sat box with openatv latest version.

    I have a motor set up and can pick up the channels with my sat finder . When Using usals .

    The sat are from 15west - 28.2east is the ark .


    The issue is when I plug the cable into the box it will pick up the sat but when I change sat , the sat icon flashes but doesn’t switch .

    The cable is alright I think because if say I send the dish to 5west on the sat finder then choose it on the box and plug the cable back into the box I can see the channels .

    The box is moving the dish cause when I go to signal finder the dish moves when I change the satellite.

    Should I use positioner setup ?

    The signals are pretty high roughly 70 plus on most channels .


    Any help would much appreciated

    The box image froze on me when I was editing the channel list so had to power it down by the switch other then that I never plug the box out .

    So I most of hit the plug or moved it by accident.

    I just turn it off and never move it .


    I am just happy it working for the moment without any more issue just don’t want to spend money on a new box .

    I just turned on the box and it working again .

    I done nothing on Saturday. It’s very strange I am think it’s might be a loose power jack on the box .


    I could probably do the soldering job alright if I need to .

    Ok no light on the box at at all .

    I will open the box when I get the chance and have a look .


    Would it be an easy fix if the power jack is broken or loose ?

    My box won’t power on . The power supply is working perfect and have checked it.

    Any suggestions?

    Any recommendations for a new box similar would be very helpful.

    Not sure if this the right section


    Thanks
