updating channels

[wullboy]

Guys, i tried to update the channel list on a DM500s with commando 14.4v, but the scan failed [ it ran for 2 seconds ] and it wiped all the bouquets, now if i want to make sure im on the correct satellite [ sky 28.e ]how would i do this, as i cannot see this opion in the service/service scan, i am useing a static dish, so should it pick up the correcet satellite anyway ??

have you added a different satellites.xml from the one that came with the image? ive come across some that have 28.5e instead of 28.2e. make sure your satellites.xml contains a sat with name="Astra 28.2E" position="282" first. if it does then check the lastSatellitePosition setting in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit/zapit.conf, if its not 282 then manually edit this zapit.conf file and change it to 282 and reboot box.

diseqcRepeats=0
diseqcType=0
lastChannelMode=0
lastChannelRadio=37
lastChannelTV=2
lastSatellitePosition=282
makeRemainingChannelsBouquet=true
saveAudioPIDs=true
saveLastChannel=false
startChannelRadio=38
startChannelTV=2
uncommitted_switch_mode=0

easiest option would be to make sure the above is correct first and then install the latest UPDATE HERE to restore a working bouquets,services, satellites.xml set.

Thanks LraiZer m8, I will check this out tonight when i get home, if it is, i`m a bit puzzled then, yes i did put a new satellite.xml file into this image about a week after i installed it on this box, and i do remember that i did a scan after i replaced it, and everthing work with no probs then ?? so im wonder why now if this is the case, will let you know how it pans out m8....Once again, thanks for your quick responce m8

LraiZer m8, everything was as above in the zapit.conf file, so i uploaded a new satellite.xml file, rebooted then tried a scan, but i got the same fault, so i went and uploaded you update from above, but still no joy, still, it will not scan m8......


........decided to do a fresh install, & all is working again.... thanks guys....
