[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 991867, member: 187442"] Do you have a twin LNB, on your motorized dish? As you seem to be using both Diseqc switches. Set up one tuner at a time, so remove the cable from Tuner B. First get the motorized dish working fully, to do this you need to add each satellite, that you have available, by continually going into the advanced menu, selecting a satellite, and adding it, using Diseqc 1.2. You can also try manually storing each satellite, by selecting No, to Usals, and saving it separately. e.g. Astra 1, 19.2E at position 1. You then manually drive the dish, to 19.2E, using the Positioner Setup options, get the strongest signal quality, and save it at position 1. You can then do the same for all the other satellites, e.g. 16E position 2, 13E position 3, 10E position 4, 9E position 5, 7E position 6, 5E position 7, 0.8W position 8, etc, then use positioner setup to drive your dish, to each satellite, and save them to the corresponding position. If Usals are working then this makes it easier. It might be wise to not add 28.2E, at this time, otherwise it might become confusing, as you wont know which dish is picking up the signal. Once your motorized dish is set up, and working, through the Diseqc switch, you then add the fixed dish, by selecting Astra 2, 28.2E, LNB 2,3,4, whichever corresponds to your setup, Diseqc 1.1, if this fails try Disecq 1.0. You need to play around, with the settings, until both are working. You can of course just set up both tuners separately, which is a lot easier, and doesn't take very long, but then you miss out on recording, and viewing, different satellites, on both tuners. To use both Tuners individually. Attach the motor cable to Tuner A, go into the settings, Configuration Mode - Simple, Mode - Positioner, and enter your Usals. Remember negative Longitude readings = West, positive = East. Once done attach the fixed cable to Tuner B, go into the settings, select Simple, Single, and select 28.2E. With Tuners set to Auto the receiver will select which Tuner to use, so if you start a recording, on 28.2E, with your motorized dish, then the receiver cannot move the motor, until the recording has finished. If you set the Tuner preference to B, then the fixed dish should be selected, when you set up a recording, and the motor, Tuner A, should be free to move to other satellites. [/QUOTE]
