    How to setup Receiver with VBox II DiSEqC 1.2 Positioner.

    If your VBox II already has the satellite positions stored and your changing from an old receiver to ET9000 then follow this procedure.

    Write down your VBox II satellite position numbers. These are the numbers displayed on the front of the VBox II when moving to a
    specific satellite position. These position numbers can also be found in your old receivers motor setup menu.

    Example lets say...
    Position 1 on VBox II = Astra 19e
    Position 2 on VBox II = Eutelsat W2 16e
    Position 3 on VBox II = Hotbird 13e

    You get the idea...

    First send the dish to Astra 19e using Vbox II.

    On ET9000 Remote Press Menu
    Select Setup Press OK
    Select Service Searching Press OK
    Select Tuner configuration Press OK
    Select Tuner A Press OK

    Now set Configuration Mode to Advanced. Use Left or Right keys on remote to select.

    Configuration Mode: Advanced
    Satellite: Astra 19e
    LNB: 1
    DiSEqC mode: 1.2

    Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

    Stored position: 001

    Press OK to store.

    OK that's Astra 19e setup now to setup Eutelsat W2 16e

    Now send the dish to Eutelsat 16E using Vbox II.

    Select Setup Press OK
    Select Service Searching Press OK
    Select Tuner configuration Press OK
    Select Tuner A Press OK

    Configuration Mode: Advanced
    Satellite: Eutelsat W2 16e
    LNB: 2
    DiSEqC mode: 1.2

    Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

    Stored position: 002

    Press OK to store.

    OK that's Eutelsat W2 16e setup now to setup Hotbird 13e

    Now send dish to Hotbird using Vbox II

    Select Setup Press OK
    Select Service Searching Press OK
    Select Tuner configuration Press OK
    Select Tuner A Press OK

    Configuration Mode: Advanced
    Satellite: Hotbird 13e
    LNB: 3
    DiSEqC mode: 1.2

    Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

    Stored position: 003

    Press OK to store.

    You get the idea, now repeat for the rest of the satellites and your done.
    All PM,s asking about c/s on cable will be ignored and reported to forum staff!
