Dark Motor for my 95 cm dish

[woody6222]

Thank you looking forward to receiving
I was hoping to save everything off of my zgemma H9S and straight onto Mutant but reading on here possibly a problem if i want to continue using Openpli 7.3 ?

As far as l can see it is possible to run PLI on the HD51 if you are not bothered about other partitions, lt just means PLI only on the box, but you can't clone everything from the Zgemma 'excuse the swearing' you will have to flash PLI and set it all up.
lt says next day delivery on the receipt so if not tomorrow it will be saturday and needs to be signed for.

I think you will need to ask someone more knowlegeable than i am on PLI. You may have to talk to Ferret nicely.👍

Are you sure you had KU band selected and not KA band on 19e?

I'll try vix again tomorrow and see.

The way I read it the box will boot to Openvix and that is what I use at present with my dark motor a nice vix blue skin. All you will have to do is configure tuners, if you have 2 feeds from dish then tuner A is usually on fixed and Tuner B is USALS so just enter your details.

Can you say if you have 3 feeds/

Just have the one tuner which is tuner A with Usals on my motorized set up no tuner fixed

Your new box the Mutant will have 2 tuners what bmitie is trying to say is your motorised dish should be on tuner b.

If you have not other feeds into the house just leave tuner a disable for now. If you do only have one feed you can configure either tuner a or b for your motorised dish just leave the spare tuner disabled.

If I was you I would go with Openvix first to prove the motor is working correctly. Can you say what you find so good about Openpli and maybe I can figure out if the same can be done in Openvix. Its a long time since I used Openpli and back then it was for a specific purpose like getting BBC on 27west. And it was known for it being an unbloated image but that Mutant can handle anything and I believe the PIC quality is fab.

What do you want to move and are you up to speed with Dreambox edit, Filezilla and so on? By the I use WINSCP for windows ands its tops.

I will have a bit of time later and will load Openpli on a ZGEMMA H7S(???) and see what's what.

Post any questions you want re Openvix and you will get sorted.

I think may have used Openvix in the past but its been so long ago, and with anything like this I can do it all its just its been a while and need a nudge or two in the right direction lol.
I have no preference to Openpli but just thought it maybe easier all round thats all lol
I have used Dreambox edit and Filezilla too but its been a while. Not sure I have heard of WINSCP
Thank you so much to you and everyone else on this great forum

Filezilla will be fine for FTP WINSCP is a FTP program also. Dreamboxedit will be fine for transferring channel settings.

What stage are you at with the HD51 have you got Vix on it and gone through the initial setup ?

What exactly are you wanting a nudge in the right direction with ?

VIX is already on and is fully functional and up to date.lt only needs area settings altered to his location 140ish miles from mine.
Box was delivered friday PM.

From what Woody says all you would need is your lines for sat/iptv but guess you would have them elsewhere.

Give the image a password under network option so you can FTP and telnet to the box.

Enter your usuals coordinates in the same way you do on any image and transfer the channel list you usually use and your lines.

After that if your missing anything just ask.

(lines for sat/iptv but guess you would have them elsewhere.) So these would have to be backed up from zgemma onto usb stick and then sent to mutant and vix image

Do you have any of these services on the Zgemma ?

CCcam Or Oscam lines giving you access to Pay tv or Paid for IPTV subs running on it ?

If so what app or Cam do you have running for these ?

Leave it there at 0.8

Menu-Setup-Tuners & Scanning-Tuner Setup-Select the DVB-S2 tuner

Config mode---advanced
Satellite---All satellites 1 (USALS)
LNB----LNB 65

Longitude-----0??.??? ------your longitude
east/west -------- your east or west
Latitude------0??.??? ------your latitude
north/south -------your north or south
Then press the green button to save.

Exit out the menu back to Tuner & scanning menu and choose Manual scan

Tuner----DVB-S2 (the one you just setup)
Type of scan----Single Sat
Satellite----What ever you choose but KU band
Network scan----Yes

Press the green button to scan,your dish should move to what ever sat you have choosen and start to scan.

I don't understand the above!! With the latest Vix all you have to do is go to tuner, leave it at simple, then change mode to positioner by toggling, enter USALS details and green to save, job done.

The method under advanced takes ages as with vix they have all the sats in the image so you have to toggle for ages. What is the benefit of using advanced? And Carmine is going to transfer the channel settings from the zgemma to the mutant so no need to go scanning.

I'm confused and may be missing something.

The settings above take less than a min to put in,Then he can send his dish to 0.8 west scan,42 east scan,30 west scan also checking with KingOfSat, Then he knows the sat dish is ok,Then he can move on to putting channel lists on,softcams,epg,etc etc etc ,instead of messing around for half hour to find out his dish needs adjusting.should take less than 5 mins from loading the image,putting settings in and scanning,The settings above work on vix,pli and atv,Well it did for me anyway when i tried the other day.
