    test 1 is a fail.
    Test 2 is a fail
    Test 3 is a fail
    Test 4 is a fail

    Zero stage implement and followed instruction to the letter, so must be tuner modual.

    Your previous post said test 3 worked. So it 's not worked on the last test you did. One other thing you can test is the PSU.

    I can use the A tuner with B disabled for the time being, need to decide if try and repair or buy a new box,

    Many thanks for trying to help with this issue, I do appreciate the time you have given. It is this great forum that keeps me with openvix.

    I have done more tests and have found that both cables need to be inserted in both A and B tuners for A to work. On the original test 28E did not work on the movable dish when tuner B was connected but did work on the other satellites, now it does not work at all. For me to get the use of the movable dish on tuner A I must have the fixed dish inserted in tuner B, disabled or enabled makes no difference.

    A bit confusing I know, but that is the current situation, would be interested to find out if this issue has been reported by any other users?

    Never did resolve this issue, convinced it is a hardware problem, perhaps power supply which is often mentioned on the VU Duo 2. So I am now looking to get a new box, and see you are using the Octagon SF808 which is on my list as a potential replacement for my duo2. As you have both receivers would be interested to know your view of the Octagon versus the duo?

    @psionguy - would you please start a new thread if you are looking for receiver recommendations. This thread references tuner problems and is over a year old.

    It was my thread and the problem is still there, bellejt was very helpful as he has a similar setup as me. I would have done a PM to him but suspect he would not remember this thread so this seemed a good way to make contact.
