  • Vu Duo problems

    Hi Guys
    having a few problems with my sons duo, mainly driving the motor.
    I have fitted a new superior darkmotor tracks from 30 w to 42 e all good signals
    twin lnb motor on tuner A set to simple usals tuner B 2nd cable lnb.
    sometimes vu drives the dish other times it won't move east or west unless I go in the menu and send
    the motor to 0 then it will work again for a little while. I have disabled limits (limits off)The led lights on the motor are not lit'
    I have checked and double checked all connections and there is nothing wrong there.
    I have disconnected the lnb cable to tuner B at lnb and vu, and tried it on tuner A and motor.If there was
    a problem on cable or connections I wouldn't get the signal readings I am getting.
    still the same problem. I don't think if it was a cable problem that 2 cables would be faulty.
    Image is bh media tree' I have also tried various channel settings to see if the was the problem.
    It's the same no matter which settings I use.
    So this leaves the vu so tomorrow I am going to completely reflash the box (same image) after
    doing a factory reset. Before reflashing do I need to flash duo_cef_3_0_usb again or can I just go ahead
    and flash over the bh image that is already in there.
    Thanks

  • struggling setting up 1.1 metre dish

    Hello pgtips
    if you look at my post #2 this is by far the easiest way to set it up.
    if you are using usals, written on the side of your motor it should say latitude.
    set this to number 53 a couple of notches below 55 make sure the little arrow is
    spot on 53. make sure the motor has been driven to 0. make sure the dish is in line with
    the motor arm. in other words if you are stood behind the motor looking at the back of the dish your lnb should be in
    line with the centre of the motor arm. use a compass to mark the pole with exact true south.put the
    motor and dish on the pole and centralise the motor exactly in the middle of your mark
    on the pole. now to find the satellite 0.8west move the dish up and down slowly until you get a signal.
    if you do not get a signal then your motor and dish are not set as stated above.
    good luck

  • Installation Probelm

    You could try changing your usals (longitude)
    My usals are long 2.083 west and lat 53.398 north if I enter these in my vu duo
    it does not find all sats so I think my dish has probably moved a little in bad weather
    The motor was overshooting the satellites I have changed my longitude from 2.083 west to
    0.500 west now all is perfect with excellent signals on all sats
    definitely worth a try saves getting the ladder out

  • struggling setting up 1.1 metre dish

    make sure the pole is 100% plumb
    before mounting the motor
    use your receiver to drive the motor to 0
    mount the dish on the motor arm perfectly square
    then mount the dish and the motor onto the pole
    use 11862H 28000 BBC World for thor
