So i have a new TV without USUAL's a SONY TV.

Is there any remote you can get to move a satellite to each satellite (e.g. plug device between satcable and tv) as the TV dosen't seem to do this and i didn't want a receiver as UHD recivers are expensive and space saving is another reason.
I don't think this device i thought of exist but worth a shot, anyone know.

Is there anything i can do.

The picture (colours) are so vivid compared to Samsung LG etc i wish Samsung looked better at my price range but they lack the pop.
Just a shame Sony lacks the feature as got for a bargain £359 yes a slight scratch but cant tell when on.
Its the XD8088, i havent heard any Sony has USALS else i might have gone with diff one.

The short answer is no, the only thing it can do is control up to 4 ports on a Diseqc Switch, you would be better off with a separate receiver on nearly all TV's (Unless you purely want Freesat that no Sony has)

Take a look at the Octagon SX88+, Octagon SX8 HD ONE (Can be hidden behind a TV) or the Edision Primo IP S2.
Then there are Enigma2 based boxes, all of these are far superior to any built in DVB-S/S2 system on a TV.

I have a Sony KDL50W829 and I would not change that for anything else, don't base your TV purchase on it's tuner this can be sorted out with a separate receiver, go with what picture you like best.

If you have 2 coax cables , one for the lnb and one for your motor , you can use a cheap Usals capable receiver to control the Stab

Or use a diseqc 1.2 generator, such as from EMP Centauri:
G1/1PCN-1, or G1/1PCNman-1
They are not USALS, but still diseqc 1.2.
Don't know if other brands also have them.

I have no experience with these myself, though.

To add (cannot edit my previous post anymore):

You'd need a seperate receiver to store the diseqc 1.2 positions in the motor, first, however.

After that, in day to day use, the generator can be used to GoTo the stored motor positions.

You could run another receiver in between the motor and the tv
Just make sure the receiver has a LNB loop out for the tv
