setting up problems

[Curious123]

yep re-set it and everything, selected complex yep,captains settings ??nope not done that part do i need to??

Do the Captains setting because you can than send it to BBC World 1W Thor automatically by selecting the channels throught the bouquets.

@ Father Ted

Did you manage to get it sored? If you are still struggling back up your image and i'll give it a whizz on my motor setup.

btw what motor setup did you go for in the end?

[father ted]

i think im getting this into my head now i think the reason its returning to zero is its not finding any satalites,i can set it to go to a saved limits and postion`s, say as far west and as far east so if the furthest sat is 166 and i saved postion 1 it will go to that and the furthest west say is 188 and postion 2 it will go to that so its doing what it should still cant find thor but am luving it

[Curious123]

If it goes to zero when you send it to Thor than once it gets to zero try moving the dish by hand by half and inch either side to see if the signal level changes.

wot directory does the captains setting go into on dk1?still not getting this at all and b4 anyone ask`s i mean everything about sat but its fun learning

[Curious123]

The Captains settings are a pre-configured services & bouquets for satellite and you can load them in the same way as you would load any services & bouquets in cable. I normally unpack them to temp directory on my pc and than use Dreamboxedit to connect to my dreambox and than send to the box. Once you get a picture on BBC World on Thor 1W you will be well away m8 and you will look back and laugh at all of this shannigans.

ok dont know wot i done but i done something right (for a change)manged to get a lock on about 5 sats and scanned got loads of channels from first scan but it came back with a fatal error this is it

couldnt open service file-create/var/tuxbox/config/enigma
using fta enigma image by the way


and when i put captaons files in i couldnt find them even after reloading channels and plus it came back saying service removed?

[max_gee]

I dont know if this will help but sometimes if you add too much to the var then the whole image becomes read only causing errors similar to the ones you described.

try flash again maybe?

Father, i had it too easy m8, had no probs, so i decided today to install the nabilosat 0.8 image, it went straight on, and had no problems.

did you use the remote to update your box via network, for "PM " m8.

i remember i had a screen come up and i entered 1 for east and 50 for west.

It worked for me, and i am still a newbie..

ok tried re flash still get the same fatal error its found satalites and what am doing is goto say astra the motor turns and i can fine tune this one by making i click east/west until i get the ber down to nothing and signal and all up and it locks onto transponders and everything so its doing what i ask its just this error just as its about to finish scan

[Curious123]

Instead of doing the clicks why not move the dish and motor by hand until the BER disappears.

i can do that to m8 i can get everything nearly as good as with the c side of it but when i do scan i get this fatal error message

um seems like a image problem maybe, can u ftp/telnet in ?
if so please telnet into your box and enter

init 4
killall -9 enigma
enigma>/tmp/e.log 2>&1 &

then preform your scan once scan finished ftp into your box and grab e.log from /tmp post up here

cheers

ok story so far thanks to a lot of help from everyone(aftermath your a star) on all fronts have managed to get an image on it (nabilo one)and get it to scan,i only did a few sat like astra 19 and eurobird and astra 2 but it locked onto them and i did a scan it created bouquets for each satalite and put service files in them now i can see them ,bbc1 3 stv itv and all the usual ,but when i say go into bbc on astra 19.2 (or whatever its called )i get this message "please wait while the motor is turning to 19.2 e"but its been on there for half an hour? any ideas what wrong this time?

[Curious123]

If it ain't got to where you send it in one or two minutes than I would just pull the plug at the back as it has probably hung. Now that you have got some sort of a picture what you want to do is tweak/flex your dish around the the satellite arc to maximize your signal. Start with Thor 1W and see what is the best signal you can get by flexing or moving your dish minute amounts than got to something like 28.2E and see what signal than try 19E than 16E, 13E etc.
