Help setting up my ET5000

[jonc]

I do everything in that guide but when i get to the sat finder part nothing happens as all

[jonc]

Right i finally got things happing but for some reason i cant get a lock if it try to put a transponder in manually

[jonc]

Am really starting to hate this box already every time I think am getting somewhere I hit another problem then am back to square 1. The only think I've learnt so far is to turn it on

it's not the boxes fault mate, i had the exact same trouble when i got my Uno when trying to use a motor that i have used for 9 years with my DM7020. the simple fact of the matter is my motor while perfect for the older E1 box was just not upto the job on a E2 box.

in the end i had to fit a newer motor which was kindly supplied by silverfox otherwise i'd have ended up buying a new one such as a TM2600.

So is there anyway of sorting this with out a new moter as My dish is high up and it would mean me buying a new moter and paying to get it fitted. Would it be worth getting one of these vbox II things

I finally got the sats stored but am not sure were to go from here as when I do a auto scan 28.e as all of the channels from 19e on it and 19.e is blank

load a premade bouquet pack to the box such as vhannibal or cyrus cst.

the freqs on 19/28 east are more or less the same

if you have 19 east channels on your 28 east listings,...it means your dish was scanning 19 east, so your settings are 9 degrees out

if I try it on my motorised dish it cant find it if I stick it on my fixed dish it can

[basilyoung]

your saved position for 28 east is wrong, you need to nudge the dish east, untill you get a strong signal then save it...the current saved position is in fact 19 east,..so save it as 19 east, then move the dish east, find 28 east,..and save

I understand what your saying but how do you do this on this box

[jonc]

sorry it wont let me edit my post...Sorted that now

Setting this up is stressing me out am almost ready to throw the towel in and get rid of it .
[Its like trying to fit wooden flooring you pop one end in only for the other end to keep popping out ]
I install one sound ok every think works so then I move on to the next sat I might have a little problem with that so I leave it and do then next one but then when I go and check the first one its suddenly is not picking anything up . I havent even had a chance to mess about with the box yet
