Work through these checks
01 · Vu+ ULTIMO · original HD satellite configurations
Match the model, product code and manual edition on this page. Photograph existing connections without changing them. First separate TV input and standby problems from missing satellite reception. Preserve the channel list and antenna settings; do not factory-reset, flash software, rescan or rewire as a first check.
02 · ULTIMO / Tuner Configuration / Information / About / Wireless LAN Setup / e-SATA
Match the original HD ULTIMO and its three plug-in tuner slots, not ULTIMO 4K. The official download index label is not proof of the model inside the PDF; this cover and rear diagram show the older ULTIMO. Read existing A/B/C choices under Tuner Configuration and record Information > About, rather than assuming every installed module receives satellite. Distinguish e-SATA storage from Ethernet networking. The original Wireless LAN Setup chapter describes a USB Wi-Fi dongle; do not infer built-in Wi-Fi or compatibility with any replacement dongle. Record the existing adapter, reception symptom and recording free space without changing settings. Preserve channel lists, LNB configuration and recordings; no reset, firmware flashing, opening, tuner replacement or formatting as a first check.
When to stop and get help
