  • Cannot connect to server

    Hello all.
    I have built an ubuntu server with an omnikey reader following thatfellows tutorial http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=16479 but cannot connect to it from my home network.
    I am hoping to subscribe to 5etanta and share, and would like my solo2 to update/activate my card.
    The server is running version 1.20-unstable_svn, build r8917. The solo2 is running cccam 2.3.0
    I realise my card has no entitlements yet but I presume I should still be able to connect to my server.
    Would like to make sure that everything is in order before i sign up as i don't want to miss any entitlements sent.
    Could anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

  • Jumping Ship

    I have a solo2 and is a cracking piece of kit.
    One problem is lack of blindscan.
    If thats important, an uno twin tuner is your man.
    Great receiver also.
    Bought one for my brother, who lives in a hole and can't receive saorview, so has to use saorsat on 9deg east.
    Solo2 couldn't pull it in. Uno had no problem with it.

  • ferguson ariva 102 help please

    Easier to put it in the receiver through your laptop/pc
    Just type in ip address of receiver into internet explorer and it will give you the ariva webif
    Click on module and it is fairly straight forward from there.

  • Saving and Restoring Channel lists

    Normally to save list , i choose "dump".
    That creates a dumpfile/backup.abs file on usb stick.


    Then to upload again, i choose "userdb".
    Don't think you should try to load list from one model to a different model (ie from 102e to 202e) as this could give you ASH error on receiver and you'll then need rs232 null modem cable to recover the box.

  • help with saving channel list and dumping it back to the box

    You'll probably get the usual reply, "we're looking into it and hope to resolve it with a new firmware update".
    Could be a while though.
    Did you try the 252 firmware with a channel list from a 250?
    Might be worth a go at this stage.
    Can upload one for you to see if it i'll flash.
    It's for 28.2 and may need updating though as i don't have that model.

  • Which enigma2 receiver will be good for learning with on a budget ?

    Have to agree with stevejo. Solo2 rocks. Its lightening fast and a pleasure to use. I took the plunge and never looked backed.
    I've messed around with a couple of receivers but none compare to it for support, speed and functionality . If you can afford to splash out, you won't be disappointed. The duo2, looks good but in all honestly I think its overpriced and the lcd screen is more a cosmetic attraction than a functional one. My tuppance worth anyway.

    Keep an eye on this part of the site

    Or an alternative is lyngsat, kingofsat. (updated daily I believe)
    Channels often change frequencies quite frequently. Make a note of whats not there and rescan using the tp scan function on the ariva. You will then have to manually add them to favourites list or use the channel editor. I'm afraid there has to be an ammount of upkeep to keep your list current, unlike a true e2 receiver which has autobouquets/ cateyes/ rats etc,which is a godsend really. These ariva receivers are ideal bedroom companions due to their small form factor but have zero capability in any automatic update functions.

    Haven't dealt with them.
    Would recommend the site sponsor.
    Great service and swift delivery.
    Purchased a vu uno from them on saturday.
    Shipped monday and arrived today around lunch time and i'm in roi.
    On top of that, there is security in knowing that if the receiver hicups in any way, they will help or sort it out for you.

    Usually cheap prices = clones
    Never owned one but from what i've read, some clones have problems with images written for the original receivers, and are of a lesser build quality. Overheating , noisy etc. Others seam to be ok.

    This is how i do it on a 150. It maybe the same for 102e


    1 First backup channel list
    Insert blank usb stick
    Goto Menu, tools upgrade by usb.
    Scroll across top from allcode and bootloader to dump.
    The bottom of the page should show backup.abs or dumpfile.abs.
    Hit start. This .abs file is your channel list.
    Eject usb and save backup.abs file on pc.


    2 Factory reset
    Power up and factory reset receiver (should be an option in one of the menus)


    3 Load new firmware
    Reformat usb stick and load Patch f/w onto it. After reset, insert usb with patched f/w and goto tools,upgrade by usb. Select allcode and bootloader and file underneath should be your firmware patch.
    Hit start and wait for flash to complete.
    Eject usb.


    4 Reload channel list
    Load up previous dumpfile/backup.abs file to usb drive.
    Re-insert it into receiver.
    Go back to menu, tools, upgrade by usb and scroll across top from allcode and bootloader to userdb.
    Bottom of the page should be pointing to your backup/dumpfile.abs file.
    Hit start and wait for it to load up your channel list.


    Thats how i did my one.
    Hope it helps.

  • Linux receiver for saorsat

    Thanks. Dual tuner uno on the way from the site sponsor.
    I do like the octagon/ xp1000. Good value for the money. No solo2 but capable receiver.
    Will let you all know how i get on.
