    Question Motor Dish Issue

    Hi Guys,

    I`ve just bought the XT6000 and I connected my motor dish to it.
    Previously I had this motor dish working fine with my previous receiver.
    But now after I save and store each satellite position and search the channels I can not redirect from one satellite to another by changing the channels.
    It shows that the motor is moving and ETA time on the target satellite but in the end it says TUNE FAILED.

    Hope you can help me.

    Regards,

    You have not mixed up the lat and long by any chance as the dish moving GUI will show but the dish will not actually move.

    Thanks for your answer,

    Would you please make it more clear?
    You mean I should not touch the lat and long or I should fix it correctly?

    I am not experienced.

    That would be very kind of you if you make it more clear

    You need to check it mate to make sure you have entered things correctly as if you have mixed up lat and long, you get the moving icon on the TV with the timer but the dish does not actually move.

    If you can try moving the dish again and get some to see if it is actually moving.

    Also post up a screen dump of your tuner configuration.

    Here is what I am doing:

    First I go to the Positioner setup and tune a frequency.
    After I find the signal of my desired satellite I store the position in Index.
    Then I go to manual search and search the satellite.
    But whenever I want to change from one channel to another one from another satellite it says SID not in the PAT

    Is it possible it results from my Image?

    I have installed OpenPLI 8.11.2012 version.

    What image do you suggest?

    Use USALs mate and a good bouquet and it will be a breeze.

    I am no expert on this but sounds like your storing one sat at at time and only storing that one and expecting the box to know here to go next?

    go to dishpointer and get your lat and lon

    Than you want to go to menu>Setup>System>Tuner configuation and select simple positioner and input the lat and long from dishpointer into it

    Thanks for your fast support.

    So you mean for some one like me who has Motor dish it is just needed to provide lat and long and thats it?

    So what about the storing position in Positioner Setup?

    I store position for each satellite.

    Does that USALs work for Motor Dish?

    I did. Most of the times when I want to change the channel and move from one satellite to another one it does not move and says Tune Failed.

    Please post your exact tuner configuration.
    In the first post you speak about 'storing positions'; that implies that you don't use USALS.
    I would suggest to use USALS, as that's the most easy way to set-up a motor.
    And (although you're of course entirely free in your choice) I would also suggest to use ViX. That way we can help best.

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.

    I assign these settings to all my satellites.

    Another question is, after setting these up I can straightly go to scan for that satellite or do I have to fix the motor?

    I had Hivion 9696 full hd before this receiver and working with motor was really easy.
