    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
