Help with usals

[mrdude]

Well guys I have had this box for a little while now but have just finaly gotten around to setting it up.

I have added a 2TB hard drive and recording and timeshifting works fine as does the playback of media files.

I couldn't get the box to work properly with my old stab hh mount motor so I went and bought a new usals cryptik motor - this works much better tbh but I am still having problems with it.

I am running the blackhole image and have downloaded and installed my channels tha are set for a motorised system - they work sort off but not properly.

If I switch from a channel say on 28east to a channel on another sat I first need to select, menu+setup+service searching+tuner configuration+tuner a+configuration mode+ok ............ then yes to zap back to service before tuner setup, before the motor turns to the correct sat. I am sure this is a bug in the software as it's the same using the pli image as well.

Perhaps someone has an idea of what could be wrong as I have been messing about trying to sort this for a few days now.

TBH I think it's a problem with the image/s as when you select a channel it doesn't zapto the new sat.




edit - there is a fault with the image on compliling - sec.cpp - (fixed rotor turning without inputpower measurement)

The latest pli image has this fixed, here is what's changed
