[oldfart]

A couple of users have asked how to set up DiseQc on the DM8k
here's how to setup two dishes on a diseqc switch

Menu Button | Setup | Service Searching | Tuner Configuration
Configuration mode ->simple (use left & right buttons on the remote to change settings)

Thanks for that m8, does that mean that Port A is for a DiseqC controlled moveable dish?

I am trying to set up Tuner A for the DiseqC mover and Tuner B for 28E on a fixed dish.
Tuner B is fine and all tuned up but am well struggling setting up the mover. I can lock onto say 19E but when I go for Auto Scan it tries to scan anything but 19E with no option to change the settings.

The 7020 was dead easy to set up by choosing your sat and transponder you want and moving the dish there but this 8k menu is hard work for me.
Can you help please?

You will need to power off & back on again each time you select a satellite, before anymore become available - yes its a bug!!
