Could someone tell me the correct tuner config for my desired setup.
I have a fixed dish pointed at 28.2 and a motorised dish with twin lnb. (2nd output is not used)
I have tuner one setup as advanced which is fed via the motorised dish & tuner 2 set as simple and fixed at 28.2 this is fed from the fixed dish.
This works fine as long as i'm not recording anything on 28.2. If i am recording on 28.2 then I can't view any feeds from the motorised dish. (all grayed out)

try setting tuner 1 to postioner set your long and alit and like you said tuner 2 to simple and pick 28 e as its fixed m8

Sounds to me like a classic priority issue - when you are recording it uses tuner A, and if your tuner A is motorised, then you can only use fixed on tuner B - unless you are watching something before the recording starts. If this is the case then it will use tuner B to record - not a perfect solution, but If you swapped so your fixed is on tuner A and motorised on Tuner B, then if you decide to watch something that isn't on 28.2e during a recording, then you can, because it will be recording on tuner A.
ok so why on my system if im watching 28.2 and a recording starts on 28.2 it moves my dish and records on tuner b then greying out the multisats - exactly the opposite of above problem? , i have tuner a as 28.2 fixed and tuner b as usals??

Because that is the other side of the coin. Enigma2 is not ideal at setting priorities that would be useful for those of us (and that is a lot) who have one fixed sly and one motorised. What would be ideal is if you could tell it to always record on the fixed dish as a priority regardless of whether you are watching a channel on the fixed dish or motorised, that way, you would always have the motorised free. How it works at the moment is that it will prioritise tuner A first, and if it is being used, then will go to tuner B. The idea of having your fixed on tuner A and motorised on Tuner B is so that once the recording has started, you can then use tuner B - the problem being is if you were already watching something on your fixed, and then a recording starts on another transponder in the same position, then it will not use tuner A, as it is taken. Best solution I have found is to have 2 receivers, that way I am in control!

Can the develpers be informed of this Quirk and perhaps make a fix in the future releases ?
Im not sure about other images but in ViX you can tell the box which tuner to set as the preferred tuner. so foe example if you have a fixed dish on 28.2 east on tuner a and a motorized dish on tuner b. set the preferred tuner to tuner a so any recordings will take priority on tuner a unless there not on 28.2 east. freeing up the motorized dish unless your recordings are on another satellite location.
Menu> Setup> System> Customize change preferred tuner from AUTO to your chosen tuner. then green to save.

you can do exactly that with ViX as i detail above.

This is the solution to the problem, the fixed antena on tuner A and on tuner B the motorized one. I have the same way, and i record on 28,2 and watch other channels from other sats without problems, using BlackHole.

If you select the preferred tuner to A - and you are watching something on 28.2e will that then use tuner A as it is the preferred tuner to watch? Will it not then use tuner B (motorised) to record something you may have set to record that is also on 28.2e, therefore making it impossible to switch to a channel on a different position after the recording starts? Just switched to ViX and looking at the option I don't see that being a solution, it just lets you move the issue to another tuner! What would be nice is if you could tell it to prefer tuner A for watching and tuner B for recording, that way you could set tuner A as the motorised, and B as the fixed, and the issue would be resolved.
