Hi all,
I see that my issue has been discussed before, but the thread concerned did not give any final conclusion. So, I start a new thread.
I have a Vu+ Duo2 with the OpenPLI 4.0 latest image, with a USB Sundtek tuner installed as Tuner C and the latest Sundtek drivers installed.
All of the tuners (the two internal ones, A & B and the Sundtek, C) should be allocated to DVB-C.
But, Tuner C (Sundtek) appears to be in conflict with the internal Tuner B. If I set Tuner C to be DVB-C, then Tuner B resets itself as DVB-T (which is of no use), with the result that Tuner B then fails with "Tune Failed"
If I then set Tuner B as DVB-C, Tuner C then resets itself to DVB-T2..
As a result, I cannot seem to be able to set all three tuners to DVB-C! At one point, I was able to set all three as DVB-C, but then after a hard reboot, Tuner B came up as DVB-T. But, when I go into Tuner Configuration and select Tuner B it says it's DVB-C (which it is not). To get it back, I have to set it to DVB-T, click OK, then select DVB-C again. But then Tuner C goes to DVB-T!
I have re-installed the Sundtek drivers, but this made no difference.
Is there somewhere a configuration conflict, or something? Possibility that it's something on Sundtek's side? Might seem likely, given what I have to do to get Tuner B back to DVB-C. Why would Tuner B suddenly re-invent itself as DVB-T after a reboot?
I removed the Sundtek USB tuner last night, and then Tuners A and B were fine; both on DVB-C. I put the Sundtek back in, and then Tuner B got unhappy and went to DVB-T!
Please advise if I should send any further information that may be useful, or if you have any advice as to what I could do.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
CuriousCorn

Did you install the driver using the Windows-Settopbox Installer?
Can you show us the output of following telnet command on the Settopbox
cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets
when things are not as you would expect them to be?

Hi Sundtek,
I did the installation with the Mac OS X installer.
Output from cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets (With Sundtek attached; Tuner B is showing DVB-T):
root@vuduo2:~# cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets
NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-C
Name: Vuplus DVB-C NIM(CXD1978)

This is the output when I set Tuner B to be DVB-C:
root@vuduo2:~# cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets
NIM Socket 0:

This is the same, but after a reboot:
root@vuduo2:~# cat /proc/bus/nim_sockets
NIM Socket 0:
Type: DVB-C
Name: Vuplus DVB-C NIM(CXD1978)
Mode 0: DVB-C

Thanks and best regards.

Ok, this is very likely a topic for an OpenPLI developer. I forwarded it to pieterg in the openpli forum since he seems to be involved with the latest OpenPLI changes.

OK, thanks, let's see what happens :)

let's stop this discussion here and continue in the openpli Forum with that, I think this is something that might affect OpenPLI and not our tuners but let's see.
Better to have the other guys involved.
For the record:
seems like this issue has been in the forum already but your post gives most details about the problem so far:
