  • Hi

    I have a vu ultimo sat box with openatv latest version.

    I have a motor set up and can pick up the channels with my sat finder . When Using usals .

    The sat are from 15west - 28.2east is the ark .


    The issue is when I plug the cable into the box it will pick up the sat but when I change sat , the sat icon flashes but doesn’t switch .

    The cable is alright I think because if say I send the dish to 5west on the sat finder then choose it on the box and plug the cable back into the box I can see the channels .

    The box is moving the dish cause when I go to signal finder the dish moves when I change the satellite.

    Should I use positioner setup ?

    The signals are pretty high roughly 70 plus on most channels .


    Any help would much appreciated

  • I scanned each satellite individually.


    I used automatic scan on the sat box to scan the for channels .


    I do know the dish moves when I go signal finder and change the satellite.


    I add channels to favourites bouquet I made and then go through the channels. The channels are on different satellites . But the channels don’t switch.


    I scanned the satellites on the sat metre and it switches grand and moves the dish .


    Just say I switch from Astra 28 to hotbird 13 channels grand on the sat finder but when I plug the cable into the box it doesn’t switch.


    Thanks for the reply
