The only other thing I can think off is there's a problem with your motor, but still I haven't really used mine for multisat yet, only for *** on 28.2E, so don't know if mine will do the same.

EDIT:

Just tried the amiko for multisat, made sure it was on USALS selected Astra 19.0E first, heard the motor working so knew dish was moving, dish stopped moving once it reach 19.0E, but like you I had the dish moving message on screen after it had stopped, thought to myself oh bugger same situation as yourself, I hit the menu button on remote and this removed the message, so then I choosed the Single Scan option(red button) while in satellite installation and on popup menu just choosed TV channels and Blind Scan for that scan. After the scanning is done my dish moves back to 28.2E but if I use the sat button on the remote I can select 19.2 and the dish will move.

Now tried the same precedure with 13.0E and had to use the menu button to remove the dish moving message and use blind scan to scan the satellite.

Done it 1 more time with and I choosed 16.0E this time, again made sure to set it to USALS, and the same scanning options and it worked as before.

It would seem that you have to set it to USALS manualy everytime to get to to move to the other satellites, unlike most other box's where you only have to set it once, also don't like that it always returns to 28.2E after the scanning and saving, and to get the annoying moving dish message off screen you have to hit the menu button, it should disappear after it's moved to the satellite. Hopefully these minor bugs will get fixed in any newer firmware releases.

And I would like to see a proper 7 Day epg guide as well just like SBOX did with their f3S and f5s if possbile.

Hopefully this will sort out your problem.

Ok have you set it to USALS as well.

Hi
I have just bought a amiko mini combo
Set up straight forward my problems seem to start when adding a transponder
first time it is recognised then I get a message dish moving.
The dish has not moved and the message is still there.
The only way out is a reboot.
Has any body else had a problem with a DVB-S/DVB-S2 TUNER?

Have you entered your location details into the box, these can be got from dishpointer or google earth.

Installed first version 1.2.24 and then re run 1.2.50 and it installed ok.
When box reboots it shows No Channel!
What am I doing wrong:59:

If you read back a few posts you will see I had same problem, no matter what I did it would always say no channels, the way I got around it was to factory default the box deleting all channels that where included with the firmware, I then did total rescan on both Sat and Cable for channels, once done I sorted the channels thw way I like them setup using the organize services in the menu, I didn't use the external channel editor this time but I would say it faster setting them up on the box than using it anyway.

Once they where all arranged I backed up the box to USB then I deleted all channels off the box and rebooted, went into menu and to system/upgrade by USB, selected channel list only, rebooted the box and the channel list worked.

Just to be sure I repeated the procedure and the channel list worked again.

genie99 thanks for the reply,

Thats the very first thing I done when I had sorted the channels into order and loaded it onto the box but it still said no channel list when the box rebooted, I then tried sw with channel list and it still said no channel list. I then factory defaulted the box deleting everything and loaded the AMIKO MiniHD Combo 1.2.50 emu-UK-JULY firmware which comes with a channel list. Used the box's channel edit function to arrange the channels into the order I like ( I must say it was hell of a lot faster doing this way than using the channel editor that I downloaded from lavatroncis).

So now both sat and cable channels are sorted into me preferred lineup, although I still have to delete all favorite's from the box as I don't use them.

My problem will be when I get 1 of these boxs for Brother and I try to install the channel list onto it.

Guys when I upload my own custom channel list onto the box and when it reboots the display onscreen says no channels, now I've used the box to scan for the channels on boh sat and cable and arranged the channels into my own personal preferences using teh channel eiditor on lavatronics websitesave it and uploaded it using USB, but all I get is no channels showing on my TV.

Anyone know why this is happening, am I doing something wrong, what oprion should I choose when doing this ?
