fixed dish (2LNB's) with motorized dish setup

[imz79]

hi everyone, need some help here. i have 2 fixed dishes 1 at 28.2, 1 with 2 lnb's 13e and 19.2e. receiving all 3 satellites without problem with a disqc switch on dm800se. i have another spare 1.1m motorized dish which m planning to mount next week. so i need help on configuring 1.1m motorized dish with disqc switch i already m using for the 3 satellites on dm800se.




the options in advanced config mode i can see are:

LNB------------------------------LNB 1
Priority-------------------------Auto
LOF------------------------------Universal LNB
Voltage mode---------------------Polarization
Increased voltage----------------no
Tone mode------------------------Band

Now if i select DiSEqC mode to 1.2 (which i have to select for motorized dish as stated in above thread)then i get the following list of options:

DiSEqC mode----------------------1.2
Toneburst------------------------None
Committed DiSEqC command---------None
Fast DiSEqC----------------------no
Sequence repeat------------------no
Command order--------------------committed, toneburst
Uncommited DiSEqC command--------None
DiSEqC repeats None



if i select DiSEqC mode to 1.0 (which i have to select for fixed dishes)then get the following options:

DiSEqC mode----------------------1.0
Toneburst------------------------None
Committed DiSEqC command---------None
Fast DiSEqC----------------------no
Sequence repeat------------------no
Command order--------------------committed, toneburst



these are all the options i have, so how should i set up these options for my scenario please?

Would your post not have been better made in this section of the forum:

As it is more about installation than Dreambox.

Here is how i have setup my VUUNO to communicate with 2 Dishes [1 motorised & 1 Fixed on 28E using Diseqc switch

Fixed first


Configuration Mode Advanced

Satellite--------28 East
LNB------------------------------LNB 1
Priority-------------------------Auto
LOF------------------------------Universal LNB
Voltage mode---------------------Polarization
Increased voltage----------------no
Tone mode------------------------Band
DiSEqC mode----------------------1.0
Toneburst------------------------None
Committed DiSEqC command---------AA
Fast DiSEqC----------------------no
Sequence repeat------------------no
Command order--------------------committed,toneburst

Motorised

Satellite--------This i use for all satellites apart from 28E
LNB------------------------------LNB 2
Priority-------------------------Auto
LOF------------------------------Universal LNB
Voltage mode---------------------Polarization
Increased voltage----------------no
Tone mode------------------------Band
DiSEqC mode----------------------1.2
Toneburst------------------------None
Committed DiSEqC command---------AB
Fast DiSEqC----------------------no
Sequence repeat------------------no
Command order--------------------committed,toneburst
Uncommitted Diseqc Command-----None
Diseqc Repeats-------------------None
Longitude------------------------001.400
---------------------------------West
Latitude-------------------------54.5
---------------------------------North
Use Usals for this sat-------------Yes


obviously if your using USALS you will need to enter your own i just used mine as a reference

Hope the above is of some help

my spiderbox has a 4 way diseqc switch on it , with position 1 used for the motorised satellites, position 3 used for 28e and position 4 used for 30w hispasat , using usals , so my diseqc 3 is set to astra 2, and diseqc 4 is set to hispasat, with 1 and 2 not in use on the receiver in simple settings

all the motorised sats are set to diseqc port 1 with uncommit on 1 or OFF too

as compass demonstrates above, its just a case of adapting the same principles for any satellite box, and using AA , AB , etc is a dm method of doing the same trick, sometimes you have to use COMMITTED and UNCOMMITTED too to achieve the desired switching, so you experiment

thanks for the replies , the options in advanced mode have r follows:

Increased voltage----------------no
Tone mode------------------------Band

Now if i select DiSEqC mode to 1.2 then get these options:

tried to give a go in advanced mode with following options but have no luck, below is how i tried that:

i get no satellite signals after these settings, what should i do now ??

[echelon]

try and set the uncommitted to 1 and not none is what I would try, in all 4 settings if you can do so

it may have to be set to 1 on all satellites , and use AA for the motor and AB , BA and BB for the other 3

[imz79]

just did that, but uncommitted option only comes in disqc 1.2 which i have selected for motor, dont have this option in disqc 1.0 which i have selected for fixed dishes. so changed that to input 1 and motor lnb is AA rest AB BA and BB, still no luck

[imz79]

just to update , i do have usals option in advanced mode under disqc 1.2, it was on next page cudnt seeit before, updated my post above, but still no luck


i get 1 satellite 28.2e now which is on the first input of the disqc swtich, changed the committed disqc command from AB to input 2 . then changed 28.2e to input 3 and lnb 3 and 19.2e on input 2 and lnb 2. still get 28.2e and not 19e or any other.

tried to change the rest as well the same way but no luck on them.
