VU+ Solo 2 Issue - "Tune Failed" / "SID not found in PAT" error messages

[darknet]

I have a Satellite dish System with VU+ Solo 2 receiver (OpenVIX image + CCCam Softcam) with 1.1 mtr Triax motorised dish. For some of the channels I get the error messages like "Tune Failed " or "SID not found in PAT". Also each time I scan some channels appear and some other disappears. So with each service search channels come and go.

What could be the problem? Is it an issue with the 1. VU+ Solo 2 Receiver? or 2. Motor or 3. LNB - "Skew off the LNB" - as suggested in another forum?

I tried every thing - searching by Transponder / clear before scan etc. But each time, the list of channels getting found by the search is different each day. Channels appear and disappear at random. And for some channels I get the tune failed error message. The same channels would work a few days later after a new search.


Any help highly appreciated...

Hi

Your problem could be something very simple or something very complicated.

First of all you have to ensure that your dish is properly installed.
This is hard work that you have to do because if you dish is not pointed correctly you will have always problems.
In this hard work is inclouding the "Skew off the LNB" of lnb.

I'm sorry but there is no way to tell you if you have set up correctly your dish or not.
This is a job that can be done only by your self.

Second, I would suggest you to use a ready made channels list (as Vhannibal settings -- search it in our forum).

Many times this problem is appearing when a channel is changed its frequency and it's not emitted anymore, so be sure that you have an update channels list in your receiver.

Also, if you have available another receiver, you can test it in order to see if the problem is coming from vu+.

If I were you I would start to test channels list, then check my installation and finally check my receiver.

I hope helped you

Mostly it can be resolved by updating your satellite.xml file

I uploaded the satellite file. But still with each scan number of channels found varies!

Hi darknet

Do not scan manually for channels.

Use a ready made list

Use Vhannibals autoupdater no need to upload a list with this plugin and you can set it to update your channels on a regular basis when Vhannibal updates his list

I uploaded the Vhannibals plugin . Now there are lot of channel in the list. But many free channels like Travel channel, RT, Fashion One etc doesnt work !
