My Satellite Setup
CM 2.4m motorised offset dish, Viking Ku-band 2-ports motorised feed, 2 SMW LNBs, RC2000A, Dreambox DM920.
My Location
Milan, Italy
I'm attempting to setup my DM920 with 2 dishes but I failed until now.
The box is equipped with a double multistream tuner, so 2 F connectors are present on the back panel. Image is Openatv 7.0.
Tuner 1 is for a dual feed dish (13E and 19.2E satellites);
Tuner 2 is for a 28.2E dish.
Tuner 1: diseqc 1.0, 13E port A, 19.2E port B. It works.
Tuner 2: Advanced mode, no diseqc, 28.2E satellite selected. It does not work.
Performing a channel search with tuner 2 no channel are found.
But, disconnecting the 28.2E dish from tuner 2 F connector and connecting it to the tuner 1.... channel are found and it seems to work.
In other hands, it seems that all signals are received from just one F connector (tuner 1) instead of two, the second one never works.
Also, I tried to disable all additional tuners (FBC virtual tuners, from 3 to 8), but nothing changed.
There is surely something wrong in my configuration, but I need advices to understand how to set up both tuners properly.
Please note that such configuration (exactly the same one described above) works flawlessly in a Vu+ box with the same image installed, but not in the dreambox. Thanks.
 
First, I would try the original image from DM to verify the functionality of INPUT2, since OE2.0 is not recommended for ARM in DM (problems with tuners and the like).
If INPUT2 does not work here either, the input is probably faulty.
PS: Simple - 28E - not work on INPUT2 ?

Yes it is, exactly. 28.2E goes always on input 1.
I know that Openatv (OE2.0) is not the best image for DM920, but I choose it because I have the same image on my Vu+, so both receivers has the same menus, the same configuration, the same plugins, the same settings..... and so on.
Also, Openatv is not so difficult to install and configure compared to other images like Dream Elite or similar.
But I will surely try different images to understand the reason of this issue.
In your opinion, is there an image built for ARM (OE2.5) similar to Openatv? My linux skill is very poor. Thanks.
 
install OE2.5 and skin Metrix
Yes, but which OE2.5 image do you suggest?
As I said, I don't use linux and I do not want to be crazy with it.
Openatv is an image that, once installed and correctly setup, works well, all main features are just installed by default.
So is there a similar OE2.5 image? Thanks.
 
Not every image is suitable for every receiver ... and OpenATV particulary isn't for Dreambox.
Try one based on the original Dream OS, Dream Elite for instance.
I think others are OpenPLI, Black Hole & Merlin.

Is OpenPLI OE2.5? It exists for Vu+ too, and it is OE2.0 I believe.
Please correct me if wrong.
 
Sorry, I am not very "friendly" with sw in general and don't know much, what I know is that OpenATV hasn't worked well on my DM920, DreamElite was far better.
 
OE2.5 - original DM, newnigma2, GP4.x, dream elite 7.x, merlin 4.x
OE2.0 - all based on OpenAlliance (OpenATV,OpenPLi,BlackHole, and many others)

Thanks. Do you know Satlodge? It is an italian image but not sure if OE2.5.
Also, what about Merlin 4.x? Must I struggle (and risking to be stuck) like in Dream Elite or GP4, or is it more friendly and straightforward like OpenATV?
Thank you again.
 
it seems that satlodge uses OE2.5
