My dish will not go to positions in USALS or diseqc to do a satellite scan. It will go to the satellites in positioner setup using go to X. Did a box reflash, used a different tuner. Tried another box. Still the same. Is it the lnb or motor? Will go on the roof tomorrow if its not raining again.

Is it a E2 box? You haven't installed a newer version of OpenVIX, OpenATV or OpenPLI have you?

Reason I ask is I reported a bug that they "Fixed" but there is another bug I have found.
Was having problems today and last night, it will sit there trying to do a service scan but never moves from 0 - 100%
If it's a hardware fault like an LNB it will still go to 100%, it seems to be an E2 issue for me.

Might just buy one of those Octopus boxes.

Well it's more image rather than receiver...

I dunno, I call it Octopus as it has wires coming out from every side :N, wish someone can put one in a bigger box.
The Edision only has 128Mb ram but costs the same.

@Ghostleader
This is what mine does. Sits here forever! just picked a random sat to show you.

That's it. Wait forever. I reset the motor, checked the coax connections but still the same. I was using VIX so i re flashed with Team Blue. All working fine. Its a nice image so I will stick with it and leave it to scan the arc during the day.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

That looks very much like the same issues with the Free Sat V7 box I had to deal with last year, temperamental to the point of being useless in steering a dish

Something is seriously messed up in these OA-Enigma images, I reported the last issue and it seemed to upset everyone and they got defensive about it, they eventually put a fix out but seems they have broken something else! And my thread also got closed on WoS when I dared to reply with facts about these issues :-rofl2

I'm using an old v5.0 ViX image on a VU+ box and it scans ok.

I've seen the posts about scanning problems, so have held off loading a current image. Thanks for the warning.

They have always had issues Rusty. All the sw ever written for those boxes was a pile of poo. I think most have consigned to the bin by now...

Ah got you :), it's the default PLI skin you can see there, that might be why it looks similar.

Yeah, Open PLI wrote sw for them, along with Open SPA and I think another team. Never been a fan of Enigma2, probably because of the hours I wasted of my life trying to get it to work on the AZbox!

I'm getting annoyed with E2 lately... still can't manually add a sat, can't easily add some other things. Constantly firing up the PC.

Interestingly I was too hasty to report my findings on OpenPLI, if does actually work... I was being impatient.
