Need help for motor configuration with scr (unicable) lnb

  • Hi, I need help to get my motor dish to work with scr (unicable) lnb.

    My decoder 1 is a dm800se. I have set it up to work with a motorized dish with USALS d with a legacy lnb. The cable from the decoder 1 is attached to the motor and then from motor out to the lnb. Whit this configuration every thing is fine.


    My lnb has a SCR input and two legacy output. The above configuration works fine when the output of the motor is attached to a legacy input of the lnb.

    Now I need to use the SCR input of my lnb because I need to attach decoder 2 that uses channel 1 & 2 of the SCR. THe dish is set at 13.2° Hotbirt satellite. I have connected the output of the dish motor to the lnb scr input. I have also set up a splitter (dc pass in one direction only ) so that I can have decoder 1 e decoder 2 using the same disch cable.

    I also have changed the configuration of decoder 1 to use channel 3 of SCR and decoder 2 to use channel 1 & 2 of SCR.


    Both the decoder are working ok with the motor dish set at 13.2 East.


    Decoder 2 has only Hotbird channel settings, while decoder 1 has the motorized channel settings.


    With this configuration the motor is not working anymore and I cannot get any other channels on other satellites besides Hotbird. If 1 on my decoder I switch to a channel that is on Astra for example I get 0% signal. I also have checked and confirmed that the dish is not moving at all.


    Below is my tunet configuration taken out of the enigma2 setting file:
