Locking DVB-S2 signals with low SR

Two question guys :

1) did you maybe notice that Solo 2 has some serious problems with locking DVB-S2 signals with low SR ? A few example :

OBN - 4 W - 11186 H DVB-S/MPEG-2 3350 5/6 (it is not DVB-S2 signal but takes long to lock)
Asia TV - 57 W - 11180 V DVB-S2/8PSK MPEG-2 1500 5/6

I also own Vu+Uno so I can directly make a comparison. Vu+Uno locks the signal immediately without any problems (1-2 sec). Solo2 could take up to 10-15 sec to lock the signal, what is really strange.

2) the frequencies which are very close to each other for example 3.1 E
11525 H DVB-S2/8PSK 1500 3/4
11528 H DVB-S2/8PSK 1500 3/4
The second frequency is almost unable to lock...

3) please don't tell me that low SR signals can not be catched because
Libya One - 3.1E - 11065 H DVB-S2/8PSK MPEG-4 1000 2/3 can be locked without the problem.

Has somebody notice a similar problem ? All DVB-S signals aren't a problem at all, only S2 with low SR are problematic, good satellit to test this problem is 57E.

Try first the latest official Vu+ image taken from http://code.vuplus.com and verify if the problem is solved.
Also you don't report what version of BH image you are using ....
 
I can get low symbol rate DVB-S and DVB-S2/8PSK transponders here in the United States on my Duo2 without any hesitation or locking issues, These transponders have a SR of about 1000. I understand the Duo2 is not the Solo2, but the receivers are similar and I would think the Solo2 would get the same transponders as my Duo2.

Can you try changing the lnb? I have had transponder problems before with one receiver working and another receiver missing some transponders. Changing the lnb has solved transponder locking problems for me on more than one occasion. Changing the lnb may or may not fix your transponder problem with the Solo2, but maybe it is something you can try if another lnb is available?
 
The last firmware upgrade from Vu+ solved all problems, zapping through channels is incredible fast,Badinan Tv on 57 E is working. Good work Vu :notworthy:
