Hi all
Only got my box yesterday, connected it up this morning, went through the setup wizard and set tuner A to simple, and B equal to A, but I get a message "service unavailable, Check tuner config". and in the middle of screen is the VU+ logo, and "loading enigma2" at the bottom right hand side of the screen!!
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
TIA

Try sending some e2 settings to the box

Then reboot box & select a FTA channel from the satellite your dish is currently pointed at

Ie BBC1 from 28.2 East

Thanks for the quick reply Catseye,

I've not had much to do with E2, so could you please give me a clue what to send the settings to the box with, and where?

Tried DCC E2, but in the protocol section it says "Telnet Connected, FTP Connected, Enigma2 not detected (Functionality limited)"

Bit of a noob to E2!!

Cheers

Try to configure one tuner for now.I`ve had similar problems with my box on this score.Now and again tuner B will show "service unavailable".I have to reconfigure it once I`ve got tuner A to clear a channel.Or sometimes the other way round.I have motorised dish connected to tuner A and Sly dish connected to tuner B.

ttt.

Thats normal m8 take no notice

Dcc program best is used for linux commands such as amending emus etc

Use Dreambox edit program (if its not downloadable from this site do a google search )
& set up same way as DCC with password & box ip settings

Download & unzip my latest e2 settings file & open up using dreambox edit program (so the settings are on your pc screen)

Then transfer (FTP) to your box

You might get message on tv screen of uploading dreambox files -if box does not reboot -then reboot GUI

Then scroll down to find a FTA channel & select

Ps i will release updated e2 settings file later on today

@ UDA

The 2 files you need are here m8, plus they are in our downloads as well

Dreambox control center E2 and Dreambox edit ;)


And to pickup on doing the scan, as i'v only got astra at the moment i connected both tuners up to my lnb then set tuner A and tuner B to Configuration Mode : simple / Mode : toneburst A/B / Port A: 40=28.2E ASTRA2 / Port B : 40=28.2 ASTRA2

then after doing a Automatic scan you should end up with over a 1000 channels showing up
hope this helps you a bit for now

Whoopeeee,

Got pictures now :grin: Thanks again lads.

I'm still getting "FTP Connected, Enigma2 not detected (Functionality limited)" in DCC!
Wanted to have a look at the file structure to get familiar with the layout of the folders!

Setting are
Name: root
Passw: blank

Is this normal, or am I making a school boy error?

TIA

UDA

P.S. Thanks Gazer for the links, i had the files already, but was not completely sure what to do with them! E2 Virgin.

you could telnet the unit...and change the password

ie, login is root password is " " blank

telnet command is passwd (not password) then type in a easy to remember password, and the when requested..repeat the pass word, dcc will then be fully functional

note; when typeing passwd, what you type as your password wont show on screen

sorry if you happen to know the above (telnet) but thought I would post this, in case you did,nt know

Hi Astra,

Do you have a Sky card? If so, and you have the FTA working, all you need to do is convert the serial number of your box to hex, and put it in Cccam.cfg, then you will get the premium channels too :thumbup: As long as you subscribe to them!

Let me know how you get on?

Cheers
