hi, I too have the same problem with my vu duo, it seemed to happen after installing the blackhole 1.70 image, I then tried the pli image and it worked ok sometimes. after trying an old technomate box it seemed to drive the motor ok, then I tried another stab motor on a short lead on the vu and tm and compared it with the tm, the tm drove the motor faster, so I don,t know for sure if the problem is firmware or hardware related but i suspect its a firmware problem. have you tried any other images?
-
At least someone else has got the same problem so it could be the box or the image will have to try a new image and see from there will post my findings later this week thanks for the reply
-
I,ve never had a problem with my duo moving my dish with any image..i would check cable and connections and even run a test cable maybe.
-
today I tried the backup blackhole 1.7.1 image from this forum then after setting up the usals for my area and restarting gui all seems to work ok, so maybe it is a firmware prob after all as my cables etc check out ok.

Hi this is my findings:using the dual tuner 2 cables connected to dish & 2 cables to the receiver configured the 2 tuners one to advanced and the other to equal had it on 28.2 can record 1 programme or more and watch another programme without any problems once the recording off both channels have finished I can now move the dish now for the fun bit!! try to move the dish say to 13east will not move or to any other satellite but once I go into my tuner settings and disable the 2nd tuner to not configured the dish will move to any satellite without any problems,has anyone else have this to do and if I want to record and watch another programme at the same time I have to go back into my settings to enable the 2nd tuner to equal

So you have a single motorised dish but with a twin LNB on, one that loops through the motor then to Tuner A and the second the goes direct to Tuner B, or are there two seperate dishes involved here?
-
Hi this is my set up I have a a motorised dish with a twin lnb and yes one cable that loops through the motor then to Tuner A and the second cable goes direct to Tuner B
-
Leave your Tuner A setting as it is and try changing Tuner B to:
Configuration mode: second cable of motorised dish
That should solve your problem, at the moment your DUO thinks both tuners are able to control the motor where as only Tuner A really can (as it's the one that loops through it), changing to the above should correct it so the DUO sees it just as it is.
