??????????

the Motek SG2100A supports USALS

you can use the simple config
or the advance config
both for usals for your motor

Davvo - will try tonight with the USALS. I have since changed the Lat/Long coordinates to correctly reflect my location. Incidentally the body of the motor says 'Genuine Motek' and the label says 'Digipower' ! Is it possible that the Solo2 doesn't supply sufficient power for both the LNB and the motor?

Incidentally I downloaded the most recent Catseyes Motor file

So I have an update. I took the motor off the mount and connected it to the STB. When only the motor was connected without LNB, it was moving correctly. Connecting the LNB stopped the motor from moving, although I could see the DISEQC commands being received by the motor. I had an old .7dB LNB laying around so have fitted this. Still no signal, but at least the dish is moving around! Will get a 0.1dB LNB tomorrow and fit it.

Davvo I am not using USALS as I don't believe that the motor handles it - Digipower SG2100A

Yep - I was thinking the same. Remove the motor tomorrow and see if it moves on a short lead direct to the Solo2.

If the motor is not new , that just adds a spanner in the works does it move manually ?as it should regardless of latitude and longitude ,if it does turn out the motor is shot get a tm-2600 motor ive had mine on a 1.1 dish for a good couple of years and had some terrible winds here is Scotland hitting it full on and its still good with very little movement in it and it wasnt expensive , the motor should step east and west or do something !, has it buttons on it to drive it even ?

The motor moves manually when I push the buttons, but not when I send any movement commands from the Solo2.

configuration mode put as simple could be that,

and have you got the right lat long settings, any mistakes between nesw would stop it moving

Lat/long is correct, but why would incorrect stop the motor from moving?

Steve - Well I tried a meter, and got 18V from the F plug in the correct polarity. Perhaps my tongue might have been more sensitive hehe?

Also I checked that the connections are in the correct order on the motor. I guess that they must be as I am able to manually move the motor. The motor is used, not new incidentally.

Try 1.3 usuals ,and make sure you got the correct feed to the motor its normal to use tuner A for the motor and B for fixed , and change lower box to use usuals for this sat Yes

SteveJo - Thanks for the reply. I have tried to switch to USALS, but it still gives the same result - no movement when controlled from the receiver. Additionally trying to move using the Positioner menu within BH gives no result. I have also hard reset the SG2100A motor. Plus I originally tried on Tuner A

Hi everyone

I am running BH 2.1.5 on a Solo2. Tuner-A is configured as a single satellite. Tuner-B is connected to a Motek SG2100A Diseqc motor. No matter what commands I send to the Motek, it doesn't move. I have reset the motor according to the manual, but no joy. Even trying to manually move the motor via the Positioner menu gives no movement. I am not concerned about the signal, only to get the damn motor moving correctly! I am able to move the motor using the buttons underneath.

Here is the set up:

Can anyone please advise me on this? It is driving me crazy !!!

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to share the T Home card, only use it myself. Basically replacing the T Home STB with the Solo2.

How to set up the cams for the Freesat on 28.2?

Hey everyone

I have just received my shiny new Solo2. I have put BH 2.0.9 onto the box. I want to connect to T-Home (Amos 3 4 W) and Astra 28.2 for UK Freesat. I have a T-Home card that is active and inserted into the bottom slot, but nothing for Freesat.

How do I configure BH to decode T-Home (HU) and UK Freesat? All of the guides seem to point towards card sharing, which seems pretty dead now.

I have installed ccam and oscam.

What next guys :D

Thanks for the help.
