I've tried to simplify my setup by removing one of my motorised dishes from my Mutant HD51, I need to use that dish for something else.

What looks easy on paper is turning in to a nightmare and I cannot suss out how to overcome this without buying another receiver or putting another motorised dish up.


Basically I want to feed in the 2 outputs from the Twin LNB on my H-H USALS motorised dish, plus using a Diseqc switch feed in one of my fixed dishes, the one I want to use for this
is my 28.2e dish.


I've tried various configurations but cannot get it to work as I keep running in to limitations with Enigma2

If I put the H-H Motor directly to the box, then have the motorised dish LNB 1 going to Port A on the diseqc Switch and the 28.2e on Port B, then put the 2nd LNB output from the motorised dish to Tuner 2.
Configuring the tuners in Vix as follows:

Tuner1:
Advanced
USALS All satellites, Diseqc A, LNB 65
28.2e LNB1 Diseqc B

Tuner2:
2nd Cable of motorised dish.

If I am recording anything on 28.2e, all other channels and satellites are greyed out, as the box knows from the tuner config that 28.2e is Port B on the diseqc switch and naturally refuses to send a move command to the motor.

If I swap it all around so I have the H-H on Tuner 1 with 1 output of the LNB on the motorised dish on Tuner 1, then have the 2nd output from that LNB going in to the diseqc switch with the 28.2 fixed dish going in to Tuner 2
There is no way to configure the tuner properly, if I set it up as usals or diseqc motor it will be expecting a motorised dish on that tuner.
The option I need really is "2nd Cable of motorised dish" with a setting below to configure the diseqc switch.

Pictures attached.

I'm not sure if second cable of motorised can be combined with a diseqc switch. You can combine a motor with a diseqc switch. Have a look in the guide section as well as the vix manual.
