Ok, I#m reporting for more help. I have 2 types of Motors, both STAB MOTORS, on is with the head down(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reU3FY6R4EQ) and the other is head up([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiT-nWAJeiU)STAB USALS Universal Satellite Automatic Location System - YouTube[/url]). On the "HEADUP" motor usuals works very perfect, but on the other"HEAD DOWN" it doesn't work- I have to use a positioner and set each satellite to a position. has someone here a similar Motor and can give me a Hint how I can solve this problem?
thank you

set it up as advanced
satellite = sat name
LNB = 1
disecq 1.2
use usals for this sat = no
stored position = 1

you need to add every satname in the tuner menu before you scan them in and store then to a seperate number in stored position

ie:28 = 1 19 = 2 16 = 3 13 = 4 etc etc!

after you have stored them you can then move the motor to each sat manually in positioner setup.

i usually start at 42 east store that then move west to each other sat and store them as i go along.

every sat as to be stored seperatly,i store them to the numbers that i saved them to in the tuner menu,this way you dont get confused.

Hi I am a satellite installer I use to install stab motors when I started they was working fine with Humax receivers ,but when came with dreambox Vu and the new receivers thay been giving me trouble ,so than I put them on the side and start using other motors ,Stab is good motors but they need a good current .

that is the problem, I wanted to use Usuals, so I don't have to tune each and every sat in positions 1 to 50 (that costs lots of time)
with "Stab HH 120 Diseqc Motor" all I do is to put in my coordinates and all turns on itself. I thought there was some quick way out- thank you for the replies

I've got quad converter, SG2100 usals and VuDuo2 with 4 DVB-S2 inputs. I hate "No free tuner" message whilst recording and expected not to met this any more.

Could someone advice how to set it correctly?

For old VuDuo first input it was positioner and "second cable motorised" for the other.
For VuDuo2 with this configuration it seems that there is some fixed link to previous tuner because when trying to use the fourth tuner I can notice "no free tuner" message - not possible to use it.
For the moment I use single satellite configuration for all tuners. Only this guaranty correct operation of all 4 tuners. It is not the issue for me - 99,9% ot time I need hotbird but it is annoying, i like to have everything ready to operate.
When set 'positioner' for tuner A and 'single' for the others, from time to time it switches to random position and all tuners are without signal. With 'Auto' selection for prefered tuner, the main one is tuner B - not positioner, thus once moved away from correct position is not easy to restore it. If set tuner A as prefered - with channel selection there is always spinner and delayed operation.

Does anyone have similar configuration and can advice how to deal with these?
