Vu+ Zero and Diseqc 2.1...not working?

[Matrix10]

1. Put the antenna,on the support at approximately 0 position.
2. Turn the antenna with your box to Zero sat (4.3 E ?)
3. Adjust the antenna for maximum signal.
( turning manually (mechanical) antenna rotor combined with manual adjustment antenna elevation on ZERO SAT 4.3 E ?)
4.Go to the extreme western and eastern satellites
5. Check signals.
6. If necessary, re-adjusted antenna on 4.3 E
7. If you have good signals on the Eastern and not Western satellite
(or vice versa) then the support pipe or antenna is not vertical.
8. Remember this is all accurate job

Abt VU+ Zero

Perfect working box for this money

hello,

SO in my english now ;-)

1. i put motor to 0 and align dish also to 0
2. turn the antenna with my vu+ to 4.9e (and then moving a little bit to west to try to reach 4.3e)
3. (this point is like my image on previous post?)
4. Ok
5. OK
6. OK
7. OK

1. i put motor to 0 and align dish also to 0

NO

1.Align the motor according to motor instructions and Longitude / Latitude for your geographic location.
2. Align antenna according to antenna instructions and Longitude / Latitude for your geographic location.
4. Longitude / Latitude for your geographic location you have to put also in to Tuner configuration from your box
(configuration Mode simple ,Mode Positioner ,Longitude,Latitude)
2. turn the antenna with your vu+ to Zero Satellite for your geographic location
(ZERO Satellite It is the closest satellite to your geographical position)


On http://mygeoposition.com/ you can find your Longitude / Latitude



Example :

your your geographic location longitude is 5.1 E
Latitude 52.430

Your Zero satellite is 5 E or 4.9 E
For your motor you have the formula for calculating the motor elevation
For all your calculations and positions you'll find here .Also for your antenna / LNB elevation
example:
Motor Latitude: 52.4°
Declination Angle: 7.5°
Dish Elevation: °
Elevation: -12.1°
Azimuth (true): 94.7°
Azimuth (magn.): 94.0°
LNB Skew [?]: 37.5°

Dish Skew [?]: 90.0°



Very good website

4.3E is your True South position, as depicted by your longitude, thus 0, on your motor should be pointing at 4.3E, the red line in your drawing. I'm not sure what the 0 line is indicating.
You can check your Latitude, and Longitude, using various Apps, or online, using sites like dishpointer.com.
You can also check what channels are available, on various satellites, at sites like lyngsat.com.

Unfortunately...at the beginning my motor (Interstar HH Mount mod. GI100) is on position "0"...that's fine.
Then i'm tried to find 4.9e...also ok.
Then i move a little bit to 4.3e...i think also ok.
And then i select hotbird 13e....and motor find it!
Try on 19e and then motor moving a liitle bit to right than to left and then back to "0"???? After that i can't move anymore to anotherone like 13e !!!
Switch off my Vu+..restart...motor don't want to move anymore!
I made a decision...i will stop with motor. Enough for me!

I will buy vu+ solo2 to record and watch other channel at the same time.
To do that i will place 4xlnb (+switch disecq) to reach 13e,19e,23.5e,28.2e

But i'ts possible to record on 19e and at the same time watch on 28.2? Or i always need to watch the same sat that i record?

 

[Mick12334]

When you say your motor moved right, was this as you faced the dish? If behind the dish the motor should move left, East, to get from 13E to 19E.
Have you set any limits, on your motor, in the receiver, or on the motor?

Your other question is easier, you can set up 4 twin LNB's, 13E, 19.2E, 23.5E, and 28.2E, and use two 4 x 1 Diseqc switches, and record any satellite, on Tuner A, or B, and still view any of the other satellites available.

If you want to continue trying to set up your motor, we'll be quite happy to try and help you.

Mick,
Thank you very much...i will try again this week-end.
Will see..

Wel...i changed all my stuff! finish with motor.
I've buy lnb support for 4 lnb...and 2 diseqc switch.
Both cable (input 1 and 2) working fine, but if a record somethings all channels are black. If i leave it so, when record stops, then screen come back again.

My config is:
Tuner A
Disecq A/B/C/D
Port A: 13e
Port B: 19.2e
Port C: 23.5e
Port D: 28.2e
Use voltage and 22Khz YES

Disecq A/B/C/D
Port A: 13e
Port B: 19.2e
Port C: 23.5e
Port D: 28.2e
Use voltage and 22Khz YES

What's wrong?
For sample,I just want to record a channel on 28.2e...an see other channel on 19.2e
Actually if i record...all others cannels are black.

 

[Mick12334]

It looks like your setup is correct. Have you tested both Tuners?
Can you please try an experiment?
Scan in the Horror Channel, 28.2E, 11261 H 27500, and Sport1 germany, 19.2E, 12480 V 27500.
Once done try recording the Horror Channel and viewing Sport 1.

Sorry if it's wrote in Italian but I've had no time to translate it but it's quite clear.
