Yeah, I knew it was unlikely but was just spitballing possibilities, I'm fairly sure its a .cfg or box setup issueNon HD channels work so it wont be that.When you scanned the channels on your box did you enable diseqc? Mightn't be able to flick between normal and data channels if it wasn't enabled
Enabling Diseqc would be very unlikely to have any bearing on this issue.
Stuxnet has stated he receives FTA channels which barring some situation I've never heard of(Which is very possible
), means the LNB is active and working.
And would (to my mind at least) eliminate any possible Diseqc issue.
Diseqc switches allows multiple LNBs to be connected to a single tuner,and too switch between those LNBs.
With Diseqc only 1 LNB is active per tuner at any time, it does not allow or provide any ability to recognise ''normal'' or ''data'' and has no bearing on a tuner being able to receive/decode those channels other than of course specifying which LNB is active at which time.
If the box is displaying FTA channels from the expected satellite, its safe to assume that any Diseqc(if used) is working correcly.0 -

I've noticed that when you don't enable it when you are scanning that a load of channels are missing, you will get ~1000 when scanning with it enabled ~500 with it set to off, it might be something to try.0 -

Diseqc will have no bearing on the number of channels received during a single satellite scan.
You should recieve @ 955 services from 28.2 see here including about 50 ''data'' streams.
In that case even if Diseqc made a difference to the ''data'' channels received it would be a difference of @50 channels
Now considering Sky Boxes are designed to specifically exclude Diseqc protocols its not possible that Diseqc enable would allow you to receive anything that a standard Sky HD box can't receive.
Meaning Diseqc has absolutely no bearing on a standard Sky set up or Linux pointed at 28.2e.
.
In the case of your jump from 500 - 1000 channels by enabling Diseqc in a single LNB setup.....I'm stumped
as even if Data streams made a difference it would only be @50 data services and @120 radios.
Are you sure your doubling of services is not a case of double counting on scanning both tuner A and B is it?
i.e Tuner A will scan and give a channel count on a single scan ie 955, but if you do a multituner scan on A and B it will give you a total of 1910 as it will count duplicate services on seperate tuners as seperate services.0 -

That's all correct but I do know that some Enigma2 boxes (specifically the Gigablue) had a firmware issue/bug that limited the scan if diseqc wasn't selected in the tuner set-up. ...irrespective of whether there was a Diseqc switch connected or not. I've never heard of that problem on the Vu+ boxes though.0 -
Sorry lads meant to get back to ye, went through a few hoops with banie last night, everything was correct on my end so we were both a bit stumped.
Then I noticed a flashing green icon on my epg, had to google to see what it meant, turned out there were 56 updates available to me, downloaded and installed them what do you know all my HD channels were suddenly available to me !!
so all good now, only thing that doesnt work is channel 4 and chan 4+1 ? weird !
Stuck on xmbc metro theme from the plugins menu, really nice UI and epg now, so happy enough witht the visual layout now also
just need to train the brain now to learn the series link stuff/auto timers..:cool:0 -

Get Project Valerie and 1Channel Plugins, you don't need anything else after that
Channel 4's are difficult, a lot of users here have had problems with them, go to all channels in your Bouquets and find the 1 that works, there's probably 4 different copies of each, copy that manually over to your main Bouquet then.0 -

Project Valerie is Superb!
But it does take a little bit of setting up, especially on OE3.0+/VIX 3.0+ builds.
If you install and run ''as is'' it will crash your box at the end of file playback.
You need to go to Menu>Setup>Recording Settings and change ''behaviour when a movie is stopped'' and ''behaviour when a movie finishes'' options to ask user.
Also, if you have any TV series PVMC will manage and catalog those for you too but it can take a little finesseing
A little file called a ''valerie.info'' with the tvdb series number will sort any sync issues (Usually)
See these post,andThis.
You also need to .MKV and .MP4 to the recognised filetypes via the WebIF as otherwise these files won't be catalogued by PVMC.0 -
