satellite / tuner setup

I just noted that for OPTION 2 there's no need to enter AA, AB, BC etc for "Commited DiseqC command", there should be "None". Hence, I mistakenly entered AA, AB for OPTION 2. Later I'll be home and try OPTION 2 without entering AA, AB... Hope it will solve my problem
Yes, problem solved! With option 2 and without entering AA, AB, BA etc.

Hi!
I updated my Uno image today and i keep getting 'no data on transponder - timeout reading pat' error, for all the chanels!
The image was VTi. Tuner configuration was set for 5 lnbs with: EMP - centauri,
multimode switch with terr. combiner S8/1PCP-W2
http://www.emp-centauri.cz/products.php?id_kateg=5&id_pkateg=20&id=82
...and with 'option 2' advised by 'Zupy' : http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/satellite-tuner-setup.1646/#post-17436. Everything worked perfect....
In the meantime, i tried:
cubic, pli, vti and blackhole images;
different sat. settings;
tried both options in tuner config as advised by Zupy (link above) ;
manual scan single sattelites (it says: 'nothing scanned');
powered the STB, of current;
and tried screwing the coax loose from the dish for a while...
Nothing helps, still getting: 'no data on transponder - timeout reading pat' error ! :wallbash:
But, using 'sat finder' plugin i'm getting normal signal for each sattelite as it was!!
So, i hope that tuner is not the problem and is still working.
Any ideas, anyone???

Hi every one , first of all I just want to thank you to all those guys who post here to help the others specially newbies like me. I have a problem with setting up my Vu+Duo , I live in Canada and I have installed BlackHole 1.7.0 and I have a 33 inch dish~ 0.85 m, I use an Stab Motor HH 90 with an Invacom QPH-031 Quad Polar LNB (CP & LP) and Diseqc 2x1 Switch..unfosrtynately I am not able to conect and set on my South Satellite and I fugure that I don't have the North American Satellites list " dreamset" on my Vu+ I only see the list with all European Satellites, I try a different Receiver and I was able to find Galaxy 19 on 95.0 West and I try to set my tuner on those settings ( Frequency 10750, TP Frequency 12177, Symbol rate 23000, Polarization Vertical, Diseqc 2 Vertical).... I will be very happy if one of you guys can help me with this . Respectful Vio

I do not live in Canada
But I did not understand what is accurately the problem.
Write precisely that someone could perhaps help.

Welcome :)
I'm very very very happy to read you are writing from Canada :D
First of all the satellite list on the BH is the default one included into Vu+ SDK.
To add some satellites you can update the file satellites.xml with one who contains the SAT you need.

I will report one web site who permit the generation of that file of your needs :) and I will attach to this post the updated file with all satellites.
Upload the attached file into /tmp folder of your box and then install the bh.tgz package attached here with BH image (Green Button -> Yellow Button -> Manual install BH package) and reboot your box.

I do not understand the function of such construction
Maybe I missed something.

You're supposed to put one cable on a rotor and another cable on the single LNB.

Connected rotor direct to one Tuner and second cable/LNB to another tuner.

In this way you have no losses in Diseqc switch
and you have the ability to use both for record ,Pip and transcoding

due to building and electrical i have problem to have sepearte cable for each

Yes, but what do you want to get with it ?

You can not use both LNBs at the same time because you have DiSEqC between.

To configure existing installation
you have to use the Advanced Configuration Tuner setup
and the motor should use USALS.
Single LNB NOT
Probably a satellite with a special LNB
should not be programmed to work with the motor.

============================================

I think ,(Let someone correct me if I'm wrong)

This configuration makes sense only
in special situations.

And that's when the motor can not receive one particular satellite
and you use separate dish/LNB for this satellite .

dear thanks firstly for your reply
but with my xcruser previous receiver i had both of them

good,

but again I do not know with which function ?
Did you have some gains with two LNB ?
dish A is fixed with lnb 1
dish B is motorized with lnb 2

lnb1 is goes to input 1 of switch and lnb 2 goes to input 2 of switch after that one cable is comes from out put this switch to receiver.in my previous receiver i set with A and B IN receiver menu
i used this setup.
my problem is just cabling ,with this confiq one cable comes to home from 2 dish

Im sorry

BUT again

I do not understand the function of the second fixed LNB
when they are connected with one cable from DiSEqC.

the first reason is cabling and second reason is due to here(iran) we have high amount of parazit so we need to install one dish in proper location that we have low amount parazit so the reason is these.
i know i cant use 2 LNB in same time
