Hi,

I tried using the latest satellites.xml file copied to the reciver which fixed the problem.

Also discovered that the Dreamset method loading of channels upsets the receiver and hence causing this issue of loosing the satellite positions by sending a reset sequence via the receiver to the VBoxII and the receiver clock being reset.I had to store again, all the VBoxII satellite poitions without any re-configuring of the receiver - this worked OK!

I would appreciate some help regarding another question from the continuation of this same post:-

The receiver has 3xDVB-S/S2 tuners each one directly connected from the LNB cables feed from the single Universal QUAD LNB, with NO loop-through cable being used on the receiver.

Configured Tuner A=Advanced as discussed in the above post, Tuner B=second cable of motorised LNB Tuner A, Tuner C=not configured -all this works OK.

Now if Tuner C=equal to Tuner A, then the flashing motorised dish symbol appears with the VBoxII going into standby mode when changing channels residing on another satellite.

Please advise as to how to use Tuner C along with the other Tuners A & B?

With kind regards.

Hi,

I have copied via FTP, the locally stored .IPK files from the PC to the TMP directory on the receiver (1TB). When selecting install local extensions from the Software Management, choosing hard disk - "No displayable files on the medium". Can anyone please kindly help or point in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance, for all your support.

With kind regards.

Hi,

Trying to setup an Ultimo receiver (VIX image), triple tuners (DVB-S/S2) with 36v motorised disk/VboxII positioner and having setup problems:-

- The motorised disk is connected to a Universal Quad LNB, covering the Turksat to Hispasat satellites.

- Using the old Echostar DVR700 in parallel as a picture/satellite-lock meter for the respective satellite positions, storing these on the VboxII (previously reset) connected to the motorised dish.

- No dish limits were set on the VBoxII.

- Moved the dish via the VBoxII remote to the various stored position and then configured Tuner A (Tuner B&C are disabled) to assign a corresponding satellite name, LNBxx (where xx increments with each additional satellite name added).

- Further down the menu, changed DiSecq mode=1.2, USALS=No and input-stored that satellite position using the receiver's remote control.

- When performing an automatic scan, this configuration fine works for Astra-1, Eutelsat-W2 and Hotbird, by moving the disk to the correct satellite and scanning the transponders.

- However, scanning other satellites, the receiver shows a motorised dish-symbol implying that the disk needs moving, even when moved to the correct postion by the receiver whilst the scan transponder details are displayed on screen, but no scan progress is made.

Am I missing anything else out?

I also have installed plugins for the Satfinder and Positioner setup (not used for the above steps). Should I use start from scratch, knowing in advance where the various satellite positions are, but only programming them into the VBoxII (after resetting VBoxII) using the receiver plugins?

Is it better to use another or later VIX image or BH-1.76, instead of the factory shipped VIX, just in case there are quirks in this original VIX image? If this is the case, what are the steps to restore the receiver back to the factory default VIX image with the bootloader?

Many thanks in advance, for all your help.

With kind regards.

Hi,

Although the VuPlus Ultimo receiver (internal HDD) has a parental password feature, but is there another level of password control available for the recordings made (feature was present in the Echostar DVR7000VA)?

When you perform a backup of the settings of the receiver, either via a plugin or from the PC, what settings/files are backed up?

Many thanks in advance, for all your help.

With kind regards.

Hi,

When uploading channel lists to a Vuplus Ultimo receiver from your PC via FTP, what is the correct directory location to be used on the receiver?

With kind regards.

Hi,

I checked as kindly advised, the image version shown on the screen is Vuplus_experimental, 2011-12-02. How can this be backed up?

- When establishing a FTP session, what is the default username-password which should be used to connect to the receiver?

- Is the Superjack VBoxII remote control reset button normally disabled as it doesn't work?

Many thanks in advance, for all your help.

With kind regards.

Hi,

The image being used on this receiver as far I know is the installed factory default image and I would like to back this up on to a USB stick, before installing any new image. On the receiver, where can you find details about the image name-version?

With kind regards.

Hi,

As a newbie, can somebody please kindly advise or point me in the right direction, when setting up a 36v Superjack actuator/motorised dish (previously used with an Echostar DVR-7000) for Vu Plus Ultimo Triple Tuner 1TB receiver.

The dish is currently pointing at Astra (19.2E). What are the steps when setting up Tuner A on the receiver, and the VBoxII is showing 000 (dish direction/connections are OK). Should the VBoxII have to be programmed the East-West limits on a non-horizon-2-horizon dish mount before anything else?

I have tried Tuner A - Configuration mode=Advanced, Satellite=Astra(19.2E), LNB=1 now shows more menus. Leaving settings unchanged, scrolling down to Use USALS for this Sat=No (Stored Position 001 appears). When accepting this as well as the channel lists, how do request the receiver to move the disk to find the next satellite position without using the VBoxII controls?

If the installed image is replaced by another, does the receiver loose all tuner plus any other stored settings?

Also, what are the steps on how to take a copy of the factory installed image on the receiver?

Many thanks in advance, for all your help.

With kind regards.
