Hello,

I have recently purchased a second hand Vu+Duo.

To date I have been unable to tune in the NZ freeview channels.

I need help with the settings.

My satellite dish and TV work fine with my old decoder.

I have tried manually inputting what I believe to be the correct satellite and frequency settings but a scan does not find any channels.

If I do an open scan it comes up with approx. 70 overseas channels - none of which can be viewed.

Thanks,

Mike

OK, with OpenPLi, this should get you going:

Connect the cable from the dish to tuner A on the back

Go to Menu ->setup -> service searching -> tuner config - tuner A
Put in these settings:
Config mode : advanced
Satellite : 160.0E Optus D1 (scroll left / right to get it)
LNB: LNB 1
Priority: Auto
LOF: User defined
LOF/L: 10750
LOF/H: 10750
Threshold: 18000
Voltage mode: polarisation
Increased voltage: no
Tone mode: Off
DiSEqC mode: off
Tone burst: off

Save those settings

Go back a level and config tuner B
Set it to loop through to tuner A

Save again and that should be your LNB settings correct. If you have a channels list of NZ channels, see if you get anything now. If not, start a scan.

Go to Menu ->setup -> service searching -> manual scan
Type of scan: predefined transponder
Satellite: Optus D1
Network scan: yes
Clear before scan: no
Only Free: yes
