When I installed PLI Iolite on my dm600s I was not able to find my second satellite.
I then reinstalled PLI Helenite Final and could find my both satellites.

I’ve installed booth images from the web interface.
Aim using two quad lnb on 1.0W and 5.0E.

Anyone having an idea of what’s my problem?

What exactly do you mean by 'not able to find a satellite'? What exactly did you do? Did you do a factory reset or not, did you restore any Helenite settings?

One possible issue I can think of is a mismatch in your satellite.xml and/or your config.

Some channel list providers, and some satellite.xml creators, define Sirius as being on 5.0E, while in effect the correct position is 4,8E. De satellite.xml included in Iolite is generated from the lyngsat website, and contains the correct position.

I installed the Iolite image from the web interface.
And did not restore any settings.
Thats what I think is a clean install.
When I then scan 5.0E, I get an message that says that the satellite could not be found.
When I do the same on 1.0W It's OK.

I then did the same with Helenite, and all works.

But how do I do a factory reset on a dm600, if not installing from the web interface?

see under the blue button menu
there you can do a factory reset

With installing Iolite, you also got our new satellite.xml file, in which Sirius is on 4,8E, not on 5,0E. That's why your scan fails.

There are three things you can do:
1) go into satellite setup, and select Sirius on 4,8E. This will list all current channels as (removed service), you have to scan again.
2) copy the satellite.xml to /var/etc, edit it, and change the 4,8 to 5,0.
3) copy the satellite.xml from your helenite config (if you have a backup) to /var/etc.

My problem is bigger

I have two quad lnb with 4 diseq switches.
And the four switches goes to four dreamboxes in different rooms.
When I move my dm600 to another room and do a scan, it finds booth satellites.
I have changed the switches, but still same problem in only one room.

I think I have a problem with one cable from my switch to that room.
But why das it work with Helenite but not with Iolite?

So my question is if there is a difference with those images on how to change satellites on the diseq switch.

Hmm,

Keeps getting stranger all the time.
And if you take a working box to the room with the problems?

I have moved a DM500s with Gemini 4.1, and it worked perfectly.
But when I move back my DM600s, It won't find 4,8E.

And you do not upload your own channellist ?
You try to use the sat.xml which is provided with the image.
If so, try a reboot first, then try again.
The sat.xml provided in the image is a fresh one from about 2 weeks ago.
We have seen some simular problems in the past with Thor.

If it's not this, have you tried uploading your own satlist ?
From another box for example.

[dana]

No, I have not uploaded any channellists.
I hav only done a flash from the web interface.

But why does it work in one room, but not in another?

Thanks for having time with my problem!
