:yes!:
Hi all.
Just a 'quick' update on my marathon trek to get this (my first box) up and running.
As I said yesterday I had to flash my box with sucumnsee's vix image for my zgemma star 2s, that went to plan. Late last night I managed to get a 48hr test line to try but was unable to try it out 'coz it was so late and had to be up at 04:00hrs for work (gets in the way of everything doesn't it!!). This afternoon I FTP'd the above mentioned line (C line) using Filezilla and CCcam 2.1.3, all the line's ECM info populated immediately. So far so good!!
I then rebooted the box and there on screen was THE Tune Failed error!!!, I went to the EPG and noticed it wasn't populated with any programme details. It was going too well I thought!. Went into Autobouquetsmaker to make sure my provider was still selected the selected scan, scanned about 40% then the 'Timeout for Tuner lock' error appeared on screen!!!
This wasn't going to beat me this time after getting so near!
Out came the LNB from the back of the box (after turning off, got to be careful! no needless slipups now) and checked the plug was connected to the cable properly and securely then re-inserted into the back and switched back on........same error! 'Tune failed! Went into Setup, Service Searching, Tuner Configuration, selected Tuner B (which I 'm currently not using, only single LNB line at present) and changed it to 'not configured' thus, I assume, disabling it. Then went to Automatic scan and started it........15/20mins later, 900 and odd channels found, looking good I thought. Back to Autobouquetsmaker and re-scanned.....no problems this time, loads of channels updated.
Time for a reboot (whether it needs it or not)........no errors this time.
Fired up the EPG and lo and behold everything is populated!! All channels seem to be there and working perfectly. :woohoo:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 'Tune Failed' error was because the tuner required re-scanning to repopulate the available channels on the sat and I think the 'Timeout for Tuner Lock' on Autobouquetsmaker scan occurred because it was trying to scan Tuner 'A' and 'B' until I disabled tuner 'B'.
Please correct me or give the correct explaination of these errors and their resolution......
It worked for me anyway and I'm happy. It's been a long (but interesting) week trying to cram as much info as I can into my brain about these satellite boxes. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface but I've got a working box and am happy.
A massive thankyou to all the people on this forum who have guided me along the way including Sucumnsee, Mtpockets, Crmorris2, Cactikid and anyone else along the way. You're all stars!
Did I say a quick update.......Sorry.
I'll no doubt be in touch again....
