Hi My tuner B has no output -tested with multimeter. Hence dish motor not moving. Is this a software issue or likely dead tuner. Can these be repaired or replaced if not a software issue?

if I was you, I would first swap the cables between tuners, then do a fresh reinstall with the latest image build.
Then, if the same symptons, I would deduct that it's a hardware problem...On this 'chapter' I can't suggest since I do not have any info on spare parts but I guess there should be plenty around and a normal TV service shop would do the change of the old tuner and weld the new one easily.

good luck!

I switched cables and changed tuner config and reconnected sly dish to tuner A and motor to tuner B - no signal from either?????? I would have expected tuner A to work with motor which is set at 28.2E using sat meter at the dish also the tuner was configured for advanced etc. but nothing. So suspect a software issue an will re-install latest VIX image and report back. :cool:

daft question, but are you sure the coax cable/fly lead to the lnb are ok?

You should set Tuner A as positioner when the motor was on it and try again.

Update new image - no change. Changed sky dish to Tuner B - it works but Motor not working on Tuner A so I suspect a cable malfunction. Got mate (ex sky engineer) coming round in morning to test cable etc.
