Their should be some tutorials on how to set it up in the search section, I was reading a few today myself as I am going to set up a motorised Dish with 3 static and 1 motor feed and got some great information from abu :) just thought are you using a DiSEqC Switch as that speeds switching sats

just reading your post again you only have 1 feed going to the receiver that is where your problem lies as you might need a separate fixed dish if you watch 28.2E most of the time here are some pics uploaded by abu I hope they help

Please define "single loop though cable"

How many satellite dishes in total? If more than 1 please describe each one separately.
How many ports on LNB? If more than 1 please describe where each one goes to separately.
Any diseqc switches?

Hi I think a divorce would be on the table if I fitted an other dish on the front of the house, I have a 90cm dish the see though type with single port lnb,as for the loop through it's just the short cable to connect a to b tuner in box,would it be advised to go down the diseqc route.Cheer's:)

With only one dish, diseqc switch is pointless. You may better off using a twin LNB on your dish. I'll leave that out of the equation for now. Better option to get a minidish for 28.2. Fit it when she goes shopping.

Assumptions:
Tuner A has motorised dish which works with USALS.
Tuner B has loop out cable from tuner A
Tuner C uing internal loopthrough

Tuner with motor: Set to
Config = Simple
Positioner
Enter co-cordinates
Leave other options as they are (no)

Tuner B: Set to
Config = Loop through to
Connected to Tuner A


Tuner C: Set to
Config = Loop through to
Connected to Tuner A
