[QUOTE="craignigel, post: 586043, member: 308395"] Hi Thanks for taking the time to look around for some help for me. I can get to the screen "Non Standard Cofig..." but it what I have to enter that is the problem...with this and subsequent screens that follow on. At present I have a feed from my larger fixed dish going to Input 1 on the DISEqC switch and the feed from my motorised smaller dish going to input 2 on the switch. Then in the Sat Config menu, I had "2 Sats via DISEqC Switch A/B" selected with the Sat/Pos options entered as: 1. Eurobird/Astra2 etc.................. DISEqC AA (my fixed dish) 2. Hotbird6/7A/8 etc.................... DISEqC AB (has motor now) As soon as I change Sat Config menu to "Non Standard Config" I run into trouble as I dont know how to continue. I have tried various entries but I end up loosing reception on either one or the other feeds. I then re-boot the DB and return the previous setup. I know that I have to line the dish up to Thor so that I can get onto the arc but until I sort out the DB set up, it is pointless as the motor just moves the dish when I try to enter data. I have been using Dreambox 500 Guide for Newbies which I found here: --http://satelity.wbs.cz/Dreambox_500_For_Newbies_5%5B1%5D%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.5.pdf There are two examples of "complex" setups towards the end of the guide but neither are quite what I am trying to do. I don't know what LNB number (0 or 1 or 2) to use for each dish so that they are seen by the switch etc. Many thanks for your help. Bob [/QUOTE]
