Sat finder not working with DUO

Hi,

I've moved house and am trying to set up a new dish. I bought a basic sat finder which is meant to be powered by the receiver, but when I connect it to my VU DUO, it doesn't work. I've tried two different ones now and nothing. Is there a particular mode I need to set the box to so that it will power the sat finder? I'm running VIX 3.0.

Thanks for looking.

Na, there's no braid around any of the connectors. I've tried to hook up the sat finder directly to the back of the box and it still won't switch on. I've tried to tune it off the tuner signal menu too but I can't get anything. I've also tried to feel for static around any metal when the box is fully hooked up to the lnb but nothing. Could it be a fault with the box? It was working fine before I moved.

The only thing there that I haven't tried is the settings_config mode. I have both input A and B set to simple for Astra 28.2, I'll give that a go. Failing that I'll just buy a battery powered sat finder.

After some trial and error I've got it working. I took the tuner configuration off simple mode and put it in advanced and set the power to the LNB manually. To get the power running, I had to open the sat locator option in tuner configuration and the power began to flow. It looks as though a tune failure when the box is turned on stops the power from running.
