  • What why have u got your tuners configured??? Did you check cables at back of the box??
    Vix is
    Menu,setup,service searching,tuner configuration
    Tuner A single 28.2e
    Tuner B single 28.2e
    Tuner c,d,e,f etc sud be set to FBI automatic

  • Your right.


    The dish moved, which is odd as I've not had need to move it at all since before having the vu+ solo 6 years ago.


    I had both tuners set to Advanced with Satellite set to 28.2 before this hiccup.


    As the image I flashed was setup for a motorised dish I can now see that by scrolling through the EPG I could of inadvertently click on a different sat bouquet.


    So I have now setup my location with long/lat in Tuner setup for USUALS (I'm sure the motor can use DiSEqC but no idea how to set it up)


    I read a few tutorials but not one that actually got me back up and running again.


    I can move the dish manually via the positioner setup.


    The tuner and positioner setup seems easy but I'm obviously missing something.


    If I can't get it back to 28.2 I can always get an installer to sit on a ladder with his tuner plugged in as I move the dish manually.

    Many thanks,

  • Roughly guessing from your IP, take note that setting up USALS:
    LONG -2..... means 2....West as many have failed with this before...
    Just a shot in the dark but might have been overlooked...
    Strong winds/gales could easily knock off big dishes,especially if you lived on the coast..

  • Can anyone give me a step by step guide for setting up a positioner?


    The manual doesn't cover it.


    I tried moving the dish east to west and looking forward a signal spike for 28.2 in the positioner setup SNR: but I didn't see a blip.


    Is there a way to setup the positioner without first locating a satellite.


    I tried setting the tuner with sat for 19 & 28.2 e and then a scan but all that did was move the dish west, east and back to west again.


    Get a little frustrated.


    I'll get a satfinder off Amazon and see if my neighbour will climb the ladder.


    It's hard having to rely on others for things you could previously do yourself.

    Many thanks,

  • I received the sat finder this afternoon and now back on 28.2.


    The SATLink WS-6933 Satellite Meter DVB-S/S2 is soooooo easy to use. Especially when my dish has a multi lmb.


    Connected the lmb feed that isn't controlling the motor to the finder. Set the finder to 28.2 then moved the dish manually and await the finders beeps.


    A really decent piece of kit.

    Many thanks,
