Setting up 2 DVB S2 tuners and Motorized Drive

[Crypter007]

I have a Vu+Duo2 running OPEN ViX 3.2
The unit is new and running 2 single DVB S2 tuners each with LNB out.
I have used Tuner A to drive the motorized dish via a DiseqC v1.2 positioner and connect to the C-Band LNB. All working well.

I wish to set up Tuner B which is connected to the Ku/Kl band LNB of the same dish.
I've tried all the Tuner B combinations but i either don't get a Ku/Kl signal or don't drive the dish.
Tried
Second Cable of motorized Dish
Equal to Tuner A
Loop through to tuner A with Ku feed into Tuner B instead of loop cable between the 2 tuners.


Tuner A is setup for the Ku/Kl and positioner details.

Have I discovered the limitation of this unit

Cheers

Do you try to change your dish position from Tuner B ?
You should be aware that it is possible from one tuner only - A in your case.

-Tuner A connection: (A input - positioner - LNB A)
-Tuner B connection: (B input - LNB B)

Assuming that this is not the issue here - please swap connections between tuners so it should be:
-Tuner B connection: (B input - positioner - LNB A)
-Tuner A connection: (A input - LNB B)

If Tuner B can read the signal - check F connectors and wires from LNB B

If Tuner B can't read the signal - check Tuner B inside the box, this is modular module so please extract it from the internal connector and plug-in back. In no improvement - please ask for replacement.

=====================================
My configuration is USALS positioner + 3 LNB (my Duo2 has got 2* double DVB S2 modules) and no problem at all.
I use configuration: simple + postioner (tuner A) + 3* simple (Hotbird) for B,C and D. All driven from quad LNB.

The problem I've noticed is that I can use second cable of motorized dish only for one LNB but I need 3 of such. In your case I'd expect that second cable of motorized dish would do as well.

Tuner setup

I was able to work around this editing the satellite.xml file and splitting the C band and KU freqs from a satellite and make a single bird for each . I found that the box was confused having two sets of motor instructions for the same bird.
