[QUOTE="smiffie, post: 579664, member: 286019"] I've found out why my remote wasn't working properly, a hardware problem. I emailed the company in Yorkshire about the remote problem and they emailed back within about an hour and said that it was not the remote but the front panel, they sent out a new one and it was here the following morning. Excellent support! based it the UK. I've read that this issue has been seen on clones and original, although some people reckon they've solved it in software, umm can't see it myself. I had to set my dish up using the tuner advanced settings and manually storing the positions because of the VBox, so I've just used obvious postion numbers for each satellite e.g 28 = 28E 13 = 13E etc. But the beauty of it is in theory I will never have to re-postion the dish. Basically the VBox is independant of the receiver, it just sends it a postion number an the Vbox deals with the positioning. I've even unplugged the DM800 and used my DM500 and the Vbox moves to the correct satellite, provided you've used the same numbers. Whatever it says on the front of the VBox, thats the sat its on ! I'll post a list of transponders I've used for each satellite when I get round to it as the DM800 does often seem to get its knickers in a twist during a scan. [/QUOTE]
