VU+ Zero 4K Receiver.

[el bandido]

It might be a good idea to check the files that are inside the vuplus folder and make sure they are correct. Also make sure the image that was downloaded is actually for the Zero 4K and not for the Zero.

There was an issue where transponders located around 4 MHz apart were being logged in blindscan but not being processed in Service scan. Code has been changed in SatDreamGr image to allow scanning of transponders 2 MHz apart. If two transponders are logged 1 MHz apart, then the second transponder will be deleted. This is done to stop duplicate channels.
Code change is here:

--- a/lib/dvb/scan.cpp
+++ b/lib/dvb/scan.cpp
@@ -741,7 +741,7 @@ int eDVBScan::sameChannel(iDVBFrontendParameters *ch1, iDVBFrontendParameters *c
int diff;
if (ch1->calculateDifference(ch2, diff, exact))
return 0;
- if (diff < 4000) // more than 4mhz difference?
+ if (diff < 2000) // more than 2mhz difference?
return 1;
return 0;
}

I appreciate the work of Athoik and the others at SatDreamGr who have made these changes possible!
This change is available Now using online update.

I bought a Kingston stick to have, just for my Zero 4k
I never got it to work, I got one of my old sticks, formatted it, never has missed a beat
works every time. I would try another stick for sure.
When I tried the Kingston, no flashing on the receiver,, no nothing
Copy just the first folder You extract, as mentioned above, vuplus.
If you open that folder all the way to the zero 4k folder and copy it to the stick, it wont work

zonetech, If that Kingston stick is good in a different device you might try resizing the partition to less than 32GB and format to Fat or Fat32. Flash drives use the FAT file system. I have flashed as a test with a 160Gb external hard drive and FAT32 and it worked. AOMEI partition Assistant is what i used for resizing and formating. It's a Free download.

Hello zonetech
I don't know if you seen these instructions, hope this helps.

zonetech, one more thing, I read somewhere that not all USB brands are compatible with receivers, I use the Sandisk Cruzers and never had a problem.

Well I was able to flash satdreamgr 6 to my new box tonight...my problem turned out to be an incompatible usb stick. Used a Sandisk Cruzer as Chewie suggested and it worked great. Only question is where do I find a NA sat list? This image did not have it.


Thanks to all for the help -

The image has Both East and West satellites. It does have North American satellites.

I usually delete the Eastern satellites. You really need to use FileZilla to do that. Telnet or putty is also a plus.

If enough information is known about your satellite antenna system & tv system (Tv resolution, switch configurations, c/ku bands lnb l.o.'s...etc) then an image can be made that will work as soon as you download and install it. I prefer not to do this but it can be done if needed.

You also need to connect the receiver to the internet so plugins and other files can be downloaded from the SatDreamGr server.

Been using satdreamgr 6 on my new box for the last couple of day and have a couple of questions:

How do I set the clock? The time zone is correct but the time is wrong

Blind scan works fine but I get many duplicates, is there a way to eliminate them?

[el bandido]

Very Good!
For the clock, Did you download and install System Time ? Have you set the System Time menu correctly for your system?

Blindscan should not give duplicates. What settings are you using for the lnb, and what kind of lnb do you have?

I did not have System time but do now. Works great thanks

I have it set up in simple and positioner and I am using a standard LNBF
