The cable is new Webro wf100 twin cable. Made new ends on lnb.

using USSALS the sats are way off 19.2 was more like 28.2 because i have a sky dish below.

Using diseqc 1.2moved to 13.o hot locked on to signal 72%

But on the box it was 95%

Have loaded a image given to me by Jenseneverest

Right there is nothing wrong with box i have a sky box took the cables out put into solo working great.

Earlier i put the lat long in the box and moved to three sats 13/19/ 28 with the cats eyes channel list.

Forgive me if some of my questions and answers Sound stupid i retired due to ill health and the medication i am on sometimes and do not whether i am coming or going.

Thanks for your help guys

I am not using usals so surely the motor will not move to what thinks is the right postion

I have a ultra twin lnb one cable going to motor and lnb and one from lnb to box using both tuners.

The motor is searching east and west fine.

When the box was on and signal was good not touched anything before going into standby

Joeuser pm sent M8

Then why is it when i get SNR 84% AG84% on hotbird and watch for few hours in evening all is fine switch box to standby and switch back on the morning no signal and not touched the dish.

Even the if the dish had moved slightly the signal should not go from 84% to zero on all channels.

There is no one near me all have sky boxes.

As for water ingress i have shrouds on my motor and black ultra lnb which has a pull down casing covering outputs

Tweaked dish again got SNR 84% AG84% on hotbird if try to find other sats and move back i get not sinal will leave on hotbird for tonight

Had enough now put box on about half hour ago tuner failed nothing on hot bird no signal.

It rain last night but while it was raining it was still giving good signal.

Emailed WOS no reply yet.

Pleas correct if i am wrong:

When i am tweaking dish i am just moving out and back to the position it was and it picks up the signal .

When i done yesterday i did not put the box into standby.

If the LNB was faulty i would not get any signal

I think the box is not saving the information hence when i put it into standby is is not saving anything to memory.

Thinking of buying this box to try: Miraclebox Premium Micro

Just tried to tune other sats no signal moved back to hotbird no signal again.##

Vusolo2 is original bought from WOS about 14 months will have to check my email .

Thinking of buying a cheap box to see it is the box what would you advise me to get.

Bought on the 19/09/2014 .

Samsung all the way and with a six year warranty

Went up this afternoon to make sure bolts on bracket for the dish were tight signal was okay tighten them up did not touch dish lost signal

Tweaked dish again got signal back i noticed there was extra channels like there was one in the catseyes list before now there are three

It go to a channel says TUNER failed Tuner is red next minute signal goes up to 85% does not happen on all of them

Thanks m8 downloaded and edited the list and took off the sats i was not going to use with dreambox edit.

Checked all connections took them out of stb, motor, lnb and reconnected all are OK .

Tried something else last night loosened the bolts on the bracket on the dish and changed the angle of the dish moved east and found a good signal on hotbird.

Not had time to try anymore sats will try later and report back.

Strange has happened lost a load of channels fta signal is zero and on some others signal is fine have not moved dish but before signal was fine

Scanned before found over 2000 channels did same thing this morning only found 1300

THE FUGITIVE:

Thanks for the pdf.

LAT: 51.076 NORTH

LON:0.375 WEST.

What i meant was looking from behind the dish from the pole side is due south when the dish motor and pole are all in line .

As hotbird is west of the level point.

Will have a go again on Monday as will have to help her indoors tomorrow.

I truly appreciate all the help you have given my guys

Before this setup i had a old lenson heath 1 mtr dish with 36v echostar ad36000 wiith a longer pole could get 30w no priblem

Changed the echostar for a vbox and spiderbox worked great the tuner on the spider is hell of a lot better than the vusolo2.

Changed the dish for a triax installed myself worked ok for a while until high winds.

Her indoors said get somebody to do it for you ok the bloke said i would not be able to get 1.0w because the dish would hit the roof.

On checking it out myself the elevation on the dish was wrong and set it 51 myself.

On the question of true south should the motor pole and dish bracket level with each other .

I have not moved it from hot bird but on looking at hit the sat is west of true south.

Thanks for all the advice guys

Found hotbird after tweaking dish and lnb got 75% on info bar scanned and got 2000 channels and stored position on my vusolo2.

Checked signal on few Tps signal was 85-95%.

Tried to find 19.2 no signal.

Went into stored sat on vu box hot bird to move it back dish would not move.

Went into postioner setup to move to hotbird moved west and found sat stored and signal was fine

Tried this meter2d3949b7f877dff98.jpg

Found a signal on hot bird wth postioner setup when i took it off no signal on info bar at all.

Checked my pole with level seems ok tried usals nothing at all

Lat on my dark motor is 51 for my area and elevation is 27.5 set it to 28.

I am no expert but moving/ searching east or west surely it should pick some sort of signal on strong sats if dish is slightly out when moving dish but nothing

Checked connections on Vusolo2 box dark motor and Lnb all ok

Latitude is set to 51 on my dark motor which is right for my area.

Tried elevation from 21-27 still no signal at all on the postioner when moving from sat to sat.

Sorry it did happen on one hotbird 60% locked and dropped to nothing and zero ever since.

Set the elevation at 29.0 for my area bridgend south wales

Just trying to setup dish after it was moved when upvc guttering and facia installed on back of house:

my settings :
Address:
Latitude:
Longitude:

Satellite: 13E EUTELSAT 3C | EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13B | EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 13C
Elevation: 29.0°
Azimuth (true): 159.2°
Azimuth (magn.): 161.4°

Setup the dark motor at 51 on the motor bracket:

The elevation angle the is 29 the notch on the bracket is on the left hand site as looking from behind the pole.

My Question which side do i set the angle on the dish right or left as from behind the pole:

As i have tried the strongest tp for a few sats no signal

Cannot go to thor as the dish will facia board

Not using USALS not sure if pole is bang on .

Hard when you are up a ladder and in agony with your back.

Not any installers near me i phoned a few but all of them only do sky i am wiling o pay to put it right.

Using a vu solo2

I did not have dchp on the box but i changed it today to enable it. Which is the best

This my first linux box so forgive me if some of the questions and answers sound stupid
