[QUOTE="dimdon, post: 982377, member: 409159"] Hi Folks I must apologise first as the issue i'm going to document here i once had fully working some time ago but i didnt document it properly and now i've forgotten the finer details. So here goes . The reciever is a Octagon SF8 running Enigma2 (Openvix). Outside is a motorised dish connected to a 2 way Technomate Diseqc switch [COLOR=#660000][B]OBJECTIVE[/B] [B]I want to have Saorsat LNB and a Universal LNB working on the same motorised dish[/B][/COLOR] The way I had it setup before is - output 1 ofa Diseqc switch to Universal LNB and output 2 to KA Lnb (Saorsat) - this LNB is sellotaped to the right of the Universal LNB looking at the dish front on I set this 2nd KA LNB in Enigma2 at about position 13.2 east (I edited satellites.xml and stored in /etc/enigma2). So when I wanted to watch Saorsat I moved the dish to 13.2 east using USALS - deflecting Saorsat from its orbital position at 9.0 east onto the KA LNB (dish position 13.2). I managed to set it all up and by trial and error figured out the Enigma2 settings - all worked fine. Recently I updated firmware and had to reload the Enigma2 Config for the KA LNB In the reciever settings by going into Setup --> Service Searching --> Tuner configuration I have used advanced configuration option in there and set the Universal LNB to [B][COLOR=#0000ff]LNB1[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000]and set it to use USALS at the bottom - this works fine for this LNB1 But for [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]LNB2[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] (Ka LNB Saorsat) I AM STUCK in terms of what settings for Enigma2 I have included a screenshot below of Enigm2 Options which I am unsure of - I have set it to use USALS i scrubbed that out by mistake when i was scrubbing out my co-ordinates - here is a screenshot of the settings for LNB2 Saorsat I have currently BTW the sat called SAOR130 is actually at position 132 (13.2) in satellites.xml [/COLOR] [COLOR=#660033][B]Can anyone help guide me how to fill in the specific options listed in screenshot below - thanks[/B] [B][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][ATTACH=full]96611[/ATTACH] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
