Can you please tell us which image you have loaded?
Setting up your VU+ Duo 2 should be quite easy, depending on your satellite set up.
Do you have a single cable, from your motorized dish, or a twin LNB?
Go into the Menu, Setup, Service Searching, and select either Tuner A, or Tuner B, depending which tuner is connected to your motor.
Next set Configuration Mode to Simple, and Mode to Positioner, then enter your Latitude, and Longitude.
Remember negative longitude positions = West.

Tyr using dreamboxEdit:
https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?170698-dreamboxEDIT-6-1-x-x

This will help backup, edit, and FTP, a channel list to your VU+ Duo 2.
Dowload it, set up a folder, on your PC desktop, call it settings, default name, and location.
Start up dreamboxedit, go to Tools, and Options.

Enter your receivers IP Address, and Test the IP Connection, if it's working click save.
Open a channel list, like Catseyes, or Vhannibals, and edit it for your needs, especially the Bouquets, (Favourites).

You need to set the tuner up first:
Menu, Setup, Service Searching, Tuner Configuration, Tuner A, r B, depending which you're connected to.
Configuration Mode Simple, Mode Single, and select the satellite.
Which image do you have loaded?

When you said you had a single LNB I assumed you meant a fixed dish, with a single LNB, clearly you have a motorized dish.
Are you using Usals, or Diseqc 1.2?
I am running Blackhole, so the menu might be slightly different.
If using Usals just set the Tuner up to Simple, Motorized, and enter your Latitude, and Longitude, remember negativbe Longitude readings = West, Positive = East.
