    Mutant HD51 - Motorised bug, has it been fixed?

    Really need to buy a new receiver and this is the only one currently ticking all the boxes.
    However a few people I know have this and said it's a nightmare when used with a Motorised dish if it's got the DVB-S2X tuner/s

    Any idea if this has been fixed yet or any word from Mutant regarding this issue?

    Not 100% sure, but pretty sure s2x tuners are not affected, I’ll test this tomorrow.

    Thank you Sicilian

    It was affected when the DVB-S2X tuners came out and they updated the drivers for them, the further you go from sat to sat on the arc
    the longer it will take to tune.
    There is a long post on the PLi forums about it, I can post the link if that's allowed?

    It's not a voltage issue as someone I know uses a Vbox with one as they have a 1.8m Dish.

    This is a quote I've taken off that forum:

    Yes, same behaviour. The bug has three different issues as far as I've seen:

    1. on adjacent satellites (up to 3 degrees) no problem both west and east

    2. on distant satellites

    a) it will either go to the position but not find lock up to 50 seconds or so

    b ) it will either begin moving to the position but stop after a couple of seconds

    c) it will either move to the position but instead of having a constant speed, it will slow down severely.
    I've tried contacting Mutant but not had a reply from them, guess someone who deals with their rep might get an update from them?

    I've got to the bottom of this and sent the fix to Sicillian.
    I have now had confirmation from HD51 users that what I sent to them works.

    Hopefully this can be fed back to the OA Enigma team to fix.

    Now need to order a HD51, wonder if WoS can do me a good price

    So it's not the drivers then.

    Why not share the fix here ?

    There used to be forum discount, their may still be.
    And they will sell more now this issue is resolved, seeing as I used my hard work to solve this issue that's been there since 2017 I thought id at least ask
    This isn't limited to the HD51, a few other E2 boxes have this.
    Fingers crossed what I sent to Sicilian gets looked in to and fed back to the OE Alliance team.

    @ Rustyspoons, passed your info onto our dev team, thank you. Tbh though it looks more like a workaround than an actual fix.

    Yes but someone can find the bug in the E2 code now, it's not the Mutant drivers as this is happening on other boxes too that don't use the Silabs tuner chipset.

    Miraclebox Micro Premium 1, latest VIX & Open PLI this happens, however you can change this setting in the GUI rather than changing the config file.

    DM800HD same thing with recent images, resolved in the same way, however that's just an image I've modified to run on this box so others won't come across
    this on that particular device.

    And the Octagon SF4008 there are reports of this and changing this setting resolves the issue.

    IF you have found something you think works, then post it so the information can be used. That is the spirit of Open Source.

    My Octagon SF4008 does not have any motor or switch issues. I have tested this box on USALS and Diseqc1.2 in both ku motor and c band positioner.

    So are you saying that just by changing a menu option you can make the problem go away?
