vu+ ultimo update to 1.7.9 from 1.7.6 and loss of picture on Hotbird

[filmfan46]

I have been happily running on Black Hole 1.7.6 with the odd green screen crash causing the box to reboot.
I have the first lnb tuner connected to 28 deg east which works fine on both image versions.

When I update to the latest Black hole version on the Hotbird satellite I only get the odd line showing on the tv screen and lower signal strength indicated.
I use Catseye motor settings and on the tuner 2 ,I use the simple motorised setup but drive the dish from another positioner.
The arm on the dish is seized but its o.k. as I only watch Hotbird on tuner 2.
I have done a manual scan on Hotbird but still get no picture even on the free to air channels.

If i go back to the earlier version of black hole the tv picture again works.
Hopefully this is simple to sort and somebody has come across it before.Thanks for any help.
