Dbox2 USAL Support ???

[DrEvil]

Hi All,

I have a Phillips Dbox2 (2x Intel) with satellite tuner which is attached to a rotor. I have tried about 15 images and not found any that support USAL and have not been able to get my rotor working with ANY of the images. I suerly don't have to do a manual rotor setup these days.

My rotor works perfectly with my Triple Dragon with the following settings in the TD:

Adv. DISEqC (Ku-Band)
Ku-Band LNB-type = Universal (9.75 / 10.6 GHz)
Rotor/LNB-Power = normal (13/17v)

Any advice on an image that may work with my rotor and have english support would be VERY appreciated. Or is there a plugin that takes care of it?

TIA,

Evil

I don't think tuxbox neutrino supports Usals but Enigma does.

Which images have you tried?

If you really want a neutrino with usals I think a Russian group coded one, let me know and I'll hunt it down for you.

Hi Satsearching,

Neutrino or Enigma is fine, I am used to Enigma with Triple Dragon and Neutrino a little with an old dm500c I had.

So far I have tried:

- 2x_Petze_24.07.2010
- 2x_Sat_MD-Image_5.41rc2_17122009
- bosman2xNeutrino210510
- Commando_12_LZMA_x2_2010_19h05
- CVS-ENIGMA-NEUTRINO-2xI_Beta_by_bosmann
- DT-ENIGMA_V2_Mulltiemu_scam__2xi
- Keywelt_V1_September_2x_SQUASHFS_2009
- ruDbox2_Enigma_1.8_update_mod_mrvica_2x
- NG-R21_SATuKabel_2x
- PB_Enigma_V7
- PB_Enigma_V8_2x
- Sportster-Pro_2.00_RC006_20100706_1358_2xI
+ A few others I can't remember the names of.

I do need the Adv. Disecq where I just enter my longitude and latitude (USALS) really.

Of the images I have tested above many don't have "english.locale", which I can ofcourse add, but does not have any effect on custom menus. Full english local in the image would be great, but I understand beggars-can't be-choosers!

Is it that the Dbox2 being the age it is people don't bother so much with its development anymore? At least as far as satellite goes.

Thanks,

Evil

Ok, try pb-enigma again, I don't have a sat dbox2 but I'm sure it should support it (tuxbox based images for enigma 500 defo support it).

In setup --> motor setup, is there an option to select "gotoXX Function" ??

Thanks SS - I have done a bit of googling "gotoXX" and by all accounts it's pretty crap. Most people are having to setup manually with disecq 1.2 :-(
I find it hard to believe that there arn't images with Adv. Disecq USALS built in?!

I have just reflashed the PB image as you suggested and it does have the gotoXX function, which I have again tested and it does not work.

no Dbox2 users have rotors? or just too much time on their hands . . .

Any further help very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Goto XX is more or less the same as Usals, for legal reasons some boxes and motors cannot use the term "Usals"

Have a look here --> Usals

It may be your box OR the motor that is the problem, I had similar problems a few years ago that was down to the motor (despite it having official Usals branding) that didn't do usals properly.

I have a genuine Stab motor now, and my DM500, DM7025 and Coolstream box drive it fine with "Goto XX"

I'm not sure about a Dbox2 though but worth to keep trying with pb-enigma, but can you confirm your motor works fine with Usals on a different type of box?

Are you getting your lat long details correct? Try here -->Select Town(s) in

Yes it works perfectly with my Triple Dragon. My motor is a "HH100 STAB/GbSAT Motor", I may as well stick with PB Enigma and and manually setup sat positions if needed. It's just a real surprise that from what I have read gotoXX doesn't work for most people and their is no improvement of it or USALS available for Dbox2.

Thanks alot for your help, I will keep plugging away with it.

Cheers,

Well I guess the same source code is used between the Dbox2 and DM500 for gotoXX/Usals on tuxbox, maybe the dbox2 psu isn't up to it?

I'm not sure if the Dbox2 was ever designed to use gotoXX.

But keep trying, I don't know how old the tuxbox source is that pb-enigma use, but if you still have problems I could do a dbox2 compile for you to try with the latest tuxbox cvs checkout if you want?

Hmmn. Still not working at all, either manually or with gotoXX.

If you don't mind I am happy to try a new build. Is there anything in CVS about Dbox2 "Adv. Diseqc" or "USALS"?

A friend of mine has verified that on Coolstream neutrino, you can enter longitude and latitude and it works flawlessly. I don't know whether something can be nicked from that svn?

Hey, did you ever get anywhere with dbox2 and usals?
