Maybe you have old satelite.xml on box.
You see now on box alot n/a on this satelite ?

Try downoload setting from vaniball a try if he no will be working i think problem is with signal.
After this you see where is problem.
 
I would avoid ANY plugins for settings, actually, because they change also the system files.
What version of OBH are you running?
Replace the satellites.xml and also, if you find it online, the lamedb. Or, if your OBH is not updated, do an online update: it should replace the system files.
Then perform what a receiver is designed to do: scanning for channels.
 
The original satellite.xml in OBH 4.2 works perfect but be sure to chose 4.8 east KU band for satellit there is a C band and KA also they cannt be used!! ONLY KU Band

I have choosed ku band, but no channels from viasat to be found, replaced diseq,cables and lnb, on my old uno evereything works, i give up
 
OK lets start from scratch and i don assume you are an expert so we do this really basic :)

I have attached my satellites.xm file working for me with Viasat 4.8east KU Band
Download and unzipp then upload with ftp to folder /etc/tuxbox and overwrite yours.

Now Restart your STB and go to tuner config and check that your tuner is setup right.
When done do a test with signalfinder to see you have signals. Be sure to chose predefine satelite!! not frequence!!

If all is okey then do an full automatic scan whit NETWORK SCAN set to yes!!
And i am pretty sure your channels will start to populate your STB :)

I have the same satellites xml files in both my tuners, they are connected to the same dish, on my old uno i find everey viasatchannel on 4.8 east, but my solo2 does not find any of them, so i dont think that replacing the satellites xml file will help
 
Are you completely sure the two files are the same?
And have you tried to swap the two boxes? I ask this because the problem might be elsewhere.

Yes i'm sure, i copied the file from my uno and uploaded it to my solo2, i have swaped the boxes, and tryed with only one of them.connected to the dish at once, but the result is still the same, no channels on my solo2
 
It seems, then, a hardware problem.
But, before, as there is not only the satellites.xml and as we don't know if you used some plugins for automatic settings or anything else, have you tried a totally clean install and, immediately after, a manual scan by the receiver?
Have you tried more than one image?
After all of this, the HW problem will be the more likely possibility. I remember I read about capacitors problem which caused problems. You'll need, then, a good electronic technician.
 
A shot in the dark here but since you want Viasat i assume you speak one of the Nordic Language?

I have a Solo2 with OpenBlackhole 4.2 setup with 0,8 west and 4,8 east i could make a backup image for you with channel list and all ready installed that you can flash your VuSolo2 with?
 
I got it to work by choosing 4.8E C-band Astra 4A &SES 5.
Looks like the Ku and c band satellites have been named incorrectly.
 
Sounds wierd since the C-Band is for Cable TV Providers but if its working good for you :)
