Config your VU+ box
Example for one position and one sat Each satellite has to be the same stored position as its position in vbox 2
� I go to main menu � Service Searching � Tuner configuration � Select a tuner
� Configuration mode - advanced � Satellite - Self make a choice which satellite. � LNB - LNB 1 � DiSEqC mode - 1.2 (this setting is important) � Use usuals - NO (This setting is important) � Stored position - If Astra 19.2 at position 001 (Vbox2) is here also fill 001 � Then click OK (SAVE position and sat) on the remote.
Tuner Config Tutorial For Motor Dish setup
On my solo2 i am using tuner B main tuner, so this tutorials for my settings. First install latest ready settings to your stb, so you dont have to do manual channel searching, because manual searching takes long time. You can setup your tuner to ways easy way is using usal setting on and if u are more have experience use tuning sat manually this way you can fine tune. Now i am going to show you manual tuning satellite. Press menu/setup/service searching/tuner configuration/select tuner B/Choose advanced and select the satellite you want to tune in in my case 28.2 select lnb1/sellect diseqc mode 1.2
On second page of reception settings select no to use usals for this sat. Here is the important give the number to stored position dont for get the number. In future every time you chance image if you dont backup your setting you need to enter that numbers back again so you dont have to do it tuning all over again. I have give number 4 you can put any number.
Then press ok and exit. Select positioner setup you can move your dish West via Red or search to West via Green search to East via Yellow or Blue to move to the East. On my screenshot you can see my signal and left buttom corner locked, that means sattelite is locked. You find the signal now on positioner storage give that same number we have given stored position on reception setting my one is number 4 Than when you on positioner storage 4 make sure u press green (store position) least 2 time so you save your settings.
And after that just exit. Now press down arrow button on your remote then green sellect your satellite services (my one is 28.2 )
And select you channel you are done
-----------------------------
I am using Vix 3.0 on my Vu + duo and currently have the following satellites in the box
1 West Thor Sirius 4.8 7 east Eutelsate 9 East Eutelsat 13east Hotbird 16east Eutelsat 19.2 e Astra 23.5 Astra 28 Astra
But for some reason will not let me add 10east so I can move the dish to this position and then store the satellite
Any ideas
Bit of a novice but done ok so far
He's my set up & works fine at present
Channel Master 1.2 Dish 18 Actuator Invercom Twin lnb with feedhorn Moteck v box positioner & of course Vu + Twin tuner sat receiver
Current image Dream Elite
Menu, Main menu -option 8 Set up Option 1 Service Searching Option 1 Tuner Configuration
Both Tuners should appear on screen
Make sure both Tuner B is set up exactly same as Tuner A
Tuner A -Advanced Satellite -right/left keys on r/c to choose sat you wish to view Lnb 1- if you are feeding from one lnb even if its twin/quad etc DiSEqc Mode 1.2 Use Usals for this sat no Store position at - whatever your stored position is for that sat on vbox positioner
For example Astra/Eurobird 28/28.5 East is stored at position 28
----------------------
Manual motor setup engima2 ! STAGE 1.
GOTO Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Tuning Press "OK" on "TUNER A" Use L/R keys to change Configuration Mode to "advanced" Move down to "SATELLITE" Use L/R keys to select the satellite you want to add Underneath that set "Use USALS" for this satellite to "no" using L/R keys Go down to "Stored position" Set the position you want to this satellite to appear at using L/R keys ie 001, 002 etc Go down to "LNB" Use L/R keys to select "LNB 1" Next ensure "Diseqc Mode" is " 1.2" "Toneburst" is "B" (I left the others at the default setting's) Go further down and input your Latitude and Longtitude using the numeric keys (I inputted my Lat & Long information but I don't think it will make any difference unless you use USALS !) Scroll further down to "LOF" and set it to "Universal LNB" using the L/R keys Then Press "OK" to save the info you have inputted.
You will need to perform this for each Satellite position you intend to set up.
STAGE 2.
GOTO back to Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Positioner setup Go down to "Positioner storage" Use L/R keys to set the postion number that is to be setup Go up to "Tune" Press the "Red Button" Using L/R keys select "Predefined or Manual transponder" as required (I suspect the Predefined settings uses the satellites.xml file and manual you get to choose what you want to scan) Go down to "Satellite" and use the L/R keys to select the Satellite to place at the above Storage postion Press "OK" Go down to "Positioner movement" Use the coloured buttons to search or move the dish left or right until "Locked" is acheived Go back to "Positioner storage" Press the GREEN button to store that location
You will need to perform this for each position you intend to set up in line with what you did in stage 1.
This is the way that I did it and it works fine, it looks daunting but after having done it a couple of times it becomes easy.
Have fun

What dieseqc do you use? here is few ways depends of type of switch that you use
GUIDE TO MOTORISED DISH SETUP Enigma2 TUNER FOR USALS
Image Used -Blackhole V0.12
If your using DiSEqC 1.2 you will have to set-up the dish positions manually. If your using USALS it should be automatic.
Here's the USALS procedure that I used. First make sure the dish is correctly aligned on a satellite, eg Astra 28.2E
Press Menu Set Up goto Service Searching
Tuner Configuration
Choose Tuner ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) - Press OK
Now for my configuration??..
Configuration Mode: Advanced Satellite : Astra 2A/2B/2D/Eurobird 1 (28.2e) Change LNB to LNB 1 Priority : Auto LOF: Universal LNB Voltage Mode: Polarization Increased voltage: yes Tone Mode: band DiSEqC Mode: 1.2 Toneburst: None Committed DiSEqC: None Fast DiSEqC : no Sequence repeat : no Command order : committed toneburst Uncomitted DiSEqC command : None DiSEqC repeats : none
Longitude: Set this to the correct Longitude for your area. To find the correct longitude settings for your area
In the "Find a Map" box at the top left of the page, enter your post code. Select your country in the drop down box below it and click on the "Find" button. This will display a map on the screen and below the map at the bottom right you will see your Latitude information, example below for Postcode district:NE39 1 Lat:54:55:09N (54.91913) Lon:1:44:55W (-1.74859) So in this example in the Dreambox menu you'd set Longitude: 001.748 West Latitude : 54:550 North Use USALS for this Sat: Yes PRESS OK TO SAVE Once this is set up on one satellite its easy to sort the rest. Go back into reception settings Highlight satellite and choose the satellite you want The example here shows Hellas on 39.0E
Now select LNB and right to LNB 1
This will fill in the configuration with your previously set configuration PRESS OK TO SAVE then scroll back up to satellite scroll left or right to another satellite goto lnb scroll right this will automatically set that satellite up keep repeating this on all satellites needed
