Lost in MIO!!!!!!!

[catthepatch]

Well, got the sucker unpacked and hooked up, didn't like the fact that I had to pay duty! Oh well, has the north american satdreamgr image, looks nice. Been playing around with the remote and have yet to figure out how to set up the lnb for cband and try out the blind scan. Got as far as trying a scan with Ku numbers for cband and having a reboot. May need a little direction from the folks here. Thanks!

Happy Testing!!!

It will be best if you describe your antenna setup. Furnish information such a switches, motor types, and lnb types.Also furnish any other setting you think is useful or needed, and we can help you set it up. Also need to know which image you are using.

Got one! Was watching Bounce on 97°W thru the S9 and just came across the settings to blind scan somewhere in E2. Will take awhile to figure this out. Thanks for the patience.

[catthepatch]

Using the loop out from my S9 straight to the Cband lnb, no switches, linear actuator, vbox 10. Have the webif running, have yet to figure steps to change into sub menus and such.

Image is Satdreamgr 6
Build date 2019-01-21
E2 Ver 2019-02-06 (develop)
kernal 4.20.0
GStreamer version 1.12.4
Python ver 2.7.12

Setup a c band lnb using the c band setting as shown in these screncaps.

Using the loop out will probably only give one polarity, which will be ythe same polarity as the Openbox has for the channel that is being viewed. Pretty much, enigma2 receiver sets up the same as any other fta receiver, but you have a few more selections, and names for the selections might be a bit different.

Starting to get the hang of the MIO. Have Satdreamgr in slot 1, OpenATV on slot 2 w/bu and openPLI on slot3 w/bu. Have backed up satgr image a couple of times using the backupsuite, I can't remember if I installed the other images via usb or by flash image via internet, as the image files on the USB were still compressed in RAR? Some of the GUI's are quite different from each other as are the skins. The settings one makes in each image can sure change outcomes on the TV watching experience. Not going to play with either the skins or picons for now and want to get better knowledge using the various editors and how to telnet and/or FTP.

Would like to figure out why my channel names and edits for channels keep reversing back to original scans. Think it has something to do with satellites.xml.

Would like to find a few plugins like the virtual keyboard and get better information on the plugins that are out there.

Happy Testing!!!

You want to set "Disable background scanning" to "Yes". Default is NO.

In NA SatDreamGR image, it's located in:

Menu/Setup/System/Customize and it's turned OFF by default. I have now turned it ON, and hit the green button to SAVE. Now my channels don't suddenly rename themselves back to just transponder frequencies and such. That is, the few that were doing this now and again.

Looks like you are getting un lost CP..:brew:

Disabling background scanning will not allow information on the transponder to update. This can be good or bad, depending on what you are trying to do.

For those that are wanting to customize channel names, it is better to copy the satellite to a bouquet, then edit the channels or services in the bouquet as you see fit. Set a shortcut key on the remote to call the bouquets. IMO, it is better to do it this way than to disable background scanning, which can cause other issues.

I saw a channel rename itself from the custom name I gave it in my saved Favorite list for satellite 97w. It did this while I was watching! This is one of those channels that normally scan in as just transponder frequency and such for a name. It was right after I had slightly tweaked to the West and resaved the position for that sat on my Gbox, but I didn't also do any sort of rescan. It somehow must have done it all by itself, and it updated the favorites name for just that channel. Real odd.

Sorry MikeB, can't find what your pointing at "Menu/Setup/System/Customize". I get Menu/Setup/System/ :Audio/Video, GUI Settings, Expert settings. Using these editors I have made a few bouquets for each satellite but, have yet to keep them working properly.

Just watched a youtube on the pur e2 image, has the same estuary skin as kodi. Thinking I might give this a try later when I have fewer issues.

That was where it's located with the SatDreamGR image. It's likely in a slightly different place in other images. I haven't played with any other images as of yet. Still getting used to just this one is plenty for me right now. I never had any receiver other than appliance types before, certainly nothing that could flash images as easily as this one.

On the other hand, I've got this image setup nicely for what I want to do so far, at least on the satellite side.

In case you just want to do some channel editing fairly quickly, but NOT with the remote, and NOT with dreamboxEdit or another FTP type channel editing program, you can just type the IP address of your E2 receiver in your browser which will open the WebIF screen. Then in the bottom left-hand side of the screen click on "BouquetEditor". It'll open that up on the right side of the screen window, and you can create/edit/delete/move radio or tv channels to any Bouquet list you want to.

New Bouquet lists you create appear in the upper right-hand window. Once you make one, click on it to highlight it. Then click on a satellite in the upper left-hand window. Its channels will fill out on the bottom left-hand window. You can then highlight the channels you want, then click on the bottom link "Add channel(s) to Bouquet". They will copy over into the channel bouquet you created and previously highlighted in the upper right-hand window. After I got done, I clicked on "Reload" right above that set of Bouquet lists, and they refreshed on the receiver itself.

I use the satdream image as well. I've just spent the last hour or so trying to format a lousy usb drive! Goshdarn wincrap! Had to search the web and dl some partition prog just to get my 16gb drive to work, it was showing only 2gb. I even got my other 1tb drive to show up. I'm getting my system to where it needs to be slowly. I have to setup the editors for each image I have so things don't get confused as each has different pros and cons. I have yet to telnet or ftp anything besides the bouquets in the editors. Don't use the webif often as I use my computer more than the TV's.

I have to get a new lnb for Cband as the one I have is getting worse all the time. Probably an alignment issue or a warped bud. Too cold to do anything about it now, -19°C here with 1meter snow drifts.

Happy Testing!!!
