Tuner - nothing connected

[student]

Hi guys, I have DM7025 with one S and C tuner. I just reinstalled the latest Gemini image, the C tuner works fine, but I have forgotten how to set up the Sat one.

When I go to Main menu -> Tuner configuration -> Choose tuner-> it says nothing connected, and I know it is as I was using my the old image no problem.

Sorry to ask something so basic, but my memory is not working very well today

You have to select the sat that u are pointing at and do a scan.....

[student]

Yes I know, but I am not able to choose any sats.

From the Main menu-> Sat finder -> No satellite frontend found

and

Main menu -> Positioner setup -> No tuner is configured for use with diseqc positioner

reflash image
on first boot of a new image thats when it checks what tuners you got in
see if does it again
then if it does open the lid and see if the tuner is dislodged
just a wild guess

[student]

That does sound like wild guess, or worst case scenario.

Is there any way to tell the box to use the tuner or tell it how to use diseqc, without reflashing it?

I would have to agree with Westkill. The box doesn't see the card so I would turn off the box make sure the card is seated. Restart the box if that dont work then I would flash again.

Ok guys I'll follow your advice. I'll reinstall things tomorrow morning as I have to record Sir Sugar and desperate housewives tonight for the MRS

i have configured a dm7025+ for friends and found that with the gemini image it does show nothing connected. even after setting it up correctly and having it working, if you disconnect the power, it reverts back to showing nothing connected. no idea why as previous images didnt have these problems.

I have reflashed the box with Gemini 4.1 and also 4.0 and after going through the basic set up I have the satellite tuner connected. However when I try to do a scan on 19.2 I don?t get any services. What do I need to set up before I can do a scan? What am I missing pls?

Many thanks student

Hi you need to configure your sat tuner to simple setup then select the usuals mode and use positioner mode.even if you don't have a motor connected.then you can manually scan the
sats or down load the pre-configured sat lists like liakra motor settings.

[student]

Thank you, I have just done that. Set up as Positioner mode and comes as usals when I look at the settings for the S tuner. Them I created satellite.xml, reboot and I do manual scan on 19.2 and find no services.

What am I still doing wrong? Many thanks for any advice.

when in tuner setup configeration mode scroll right to advanced settings

might help

Many thanks westkill. Yes, I am using motorised set up. ATM I have my dish “parked” at 28.2 and get perfectly good signal.

I have followed your steps and have it set up as in the advanced mode, with same settings like yours.

But when I try to do a manual scan for example on 19.2, the dish doesn’t move and the scan includes channels like BBC1, Five etc. So it hasn’t moved away from 28.2, any idea why?

[westkill]

service searching>positoner setup
then press goto 0
see if that moves the dish back to zero on the motor
then see if it moves to 19.2e to scan
