It will switch off when i physically switch off the ultimo 4k at the rear. I believe my tuner settings are correct from memory of my previous install. Ive attached some pics. I will test the plug theory tomorrow.

After further testing this morning here is what i tried:
Tested the plug / fuse ampage = all ok
Tested Alsat GBox = I am able to power off as normal with same wire configuration. Point to note that the Alsat manual does not mention any kind of my error in the troubleshooting in its manual regarding switching it off either via the remote or front panel.
Theory: The Moteck may be designed this way. If it was faulty it would not move the dish etc. Point to note here aswell. There is mention of this in the troubleshooting in its manual saying its because the LNB is powered.
Now it would be nice if someone else has a moteck to check this on theirs. Otherwise i am open to solutions again.

that is a strange one I can’t think of any thing

Does your Primesat work like the moteck or are you able to power it off? Purchasing one for £100 is a gamble.

yes i have had no trouble from it it powers off and on ok no problem were did u buy urs from how old is it i was thinking is it under guarantee if not i would buy a new one to be honest i would if it was me

I bought it off ebay for £10 + Postage. I really think its the motecks design. Can you post a screenshot of your box troubleshooting section. I wanna check if its states what you see in my manual from the pic attached [Last Option]

My primesat Vbox remains powered at all times the tuner is active.
When my ultimo is in standby the primesat also goes to standby
When i select an IPTV channel my tuner goes off, and the primesat again goes to standby
The primesat also goes to standby if i use other tuners.
As far as wiring goes, there can be one way of connecting up the Vbox so doubt it is anything to do with that.
It is your tuner set up that bugs me,..
I dont use the FBC tuners (because they cant blind scan) i have an old normal type (non FBC) Twin tuner in the 3rd slot that comes up as tuner I and J
The vbox with the 1.2m dish are on tuner I and another 80cm usuals dish in on tuner J.
When i bother i add other fixed dished to the FBC tuners.
Is i get a chance later i will try and mess about with the FBC tuners.
if i was using my current non FBC twin tuner - with one dish and twin LNB like you have.....
i would have the tuner setup like this:
-
iv just looked its is the same manual as u have got regards car
-
The FBC tuners always output a voltage on the Vu and Gigablues. You can setup a power timer to put receiver into deep standby if you want to switch off power.

if i was u and its still giving u problems buy a new one then its done with to be honest ebay is good dont get me rong iv had some good stuff but iv had some shit as well thats the chance u have to take nower days

Well this is unusual because i tried that setting already and it did not work but ive applied that setting anyway because that was the setting on my previous setup .
I think i will buy the Primesat 1200, its always handy to have a proper spare. Thanks guys.

How is it that i didnt have the problem with my alsat gboxes?
-
If it were me...... i would spent the money on the old non FBC tuner type - please note the old tuners are NOT dvbSX - so multistream channels dont work
(i personally don't watch them anyways)
abu baniaz has said the the FBC tuners on the VU (and gigablues) always remain powered on.
So the Vbox will always see the tuner as being active and stay on. ( you can test this by placing your ultimo in DEEP STANDBY )

I noticed that when i do switch the ultimo off at the rear, hence cutting supply to the lnb the vbox does go into standby. Still curious has to how the alsat was able to go into standby by simply putting the ultimo into standby and the moteck cant.

At a guess....yet another unresolved driver issue......
-
Ive just ordered a Primesat PR1200 always good to have a spare as they are getting rarer these days. Just a pain in the ass putting all the positions in.
