Gigablue quad with 1 fixed dish and 1 motorised dish!

[Rob van der Does]

U don't understand my problem here,......

Correct. But tbh: not surprising as now is the first time you give a complete story.

.... when I'm using my 1.2m motorised dish with twin lnb that I connect as tuner A advanced and tuner B second cable of motorised lnb A in lnb config I get every satellite in the arc and I can record one channel or two while watching another with a very good signal, but when I use my mini dish as Astra in tuner a simple single astra28"e and my motorised dish as tuner b usals with my coordinates I get nothing from that tuner and motor don't move .....

So it seems that tuner B is then still connected to the second cable. Of course the cable that goes to the motor should be connected to the tuner.

.......but when I config tuner b as advanced with all satellites numbers according to my positioner ...

Position numbers? I thought you were using USALS

Sorry about that?

Yes and yes it's connected to the cable that's going to the positioner first then to the lnb, the motor is moved by the Gbox via 36v 5 wire cable

Position numbers? I thought you were using USALS

No! When chose usals I get no movement at all only when I use advanced with the sats positions that I get he dish to move to the satellites but I don't get any signal.

Btw sorry for the late replay I was very busy today tanks.

Ok mate now you have gave a full story, i get what you mean now`i have my motor connected to tuner A set up as advanced but still use usals, my fixed dish is set to tuner B set up as simple single 28.2e. hears some screen shots of my settings give them a try mate, i have no problem whatsoever regarding movement or signal quality

although the advanced setting says 28.2e in the pic i have this set up for all the other sats that i am able to get in my area. so you just press left and right in satellite bit and enable/disable whatever ones you want

also as rob says when you are connecting your fixed dish to tuner a/b make sure you have the correct cable from the motor connected to the other tuner ie (from motor to box) not from lnb to box

Tank u very much I will try that setup later the missus is watching the soaps now.

[chucknorris666]

I don't think it really matters which tuner you have the motor connected to as long as you have preferred tuner set to auto in menu > set up > system > customise.

One ore question? How dose it work for u when ur recording something on 28"e and want watch a match on sky Calcio 13"e? Dose not recording take priority in that case tuner A?

[Rob van der Does]

When set to 'auto' the box will first use the tuner with the least number of satellites (i.e. the fixed dish), leaving as many satellites free for watching/recording.

No mate I have the preferred tuner set to auto. If I'm watching something on 28e its always tuner b but if I record what I'm watching then change channel or sat etc the it will go to tuner a and the motor will move to what ever channel I zapped
