    GUIDE TO MOTORISED DISH SETUP DM800 TUNER FOR USALS

    Image Used -Blackhole V0.12

    If your using DiSEqC 1.2 you will have to set-up the dish positions manually. If your using USALS it should be automatic.

    Here's the USALS procedure that I used.
    First make sure the dish is correctly aligned on a satellite, eg Astra 28.2E

    Press Menu
    Set Up
    goto
    Service Searching



    Tuner Configuration



    Choose Tuner ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) - Press OK



    Now for my configuration……..



    Configuration Mode: Advanced
    Satellite : Astra 2A/2B/2D/Eurobird 1 (28.2e)
    Change LNB to LNB 1
    Priority : Auto
    LOF: Universal LNB
    Voltage Mode: Polarization
    Increased voltage: yes
    Tone Mode: band
    DiSEqC Mode: 1.2
    Toneburst: None
    Committed DiSEqC: None
    Fast DiSEqC : no
    Sequence repeat : no
    Command order : committed toneburst
    Uncomitted DiSEqC command : None
    DiSEqC repeats : none

    Longitude: Set this to the correct Longitude for your area.
    To find the correct longitude settings for your area go to the following website
    http://www.multimap.com
    In the "Find a Map" box at the top left of the page, enter your post code.
    Select your country in the drop down box below it and click on the "Find" button.
    This will display a map on the screen and below the map at the bottom right you
    will see your Latitude information, example below for Postcode district:NE39 1
    Lat:54:55:09N (54.91913)
    Lon:1:44:55W (-1.74859)
    So in this example in the Dreambox menu you'd set
    Longitude: 001.748
    West
    Latitude : 54:550
    North
    Use USALS for this Sat: Yes
    PRESS OK TO SAVE
    Once this is set up on one satellite its easy to sort the rest.
    Go back into reception settings
    Highlight satellite and choose the satellite you want
    The example here shows Hellas on 39.0E




    Now select LNB and right to LNB 1



    This will fill in the configuration with your previously set configuration
    PRESS OK TO SAVE
    then scroll back up to satellite
    scroll left or right to another satellite
    goto lnb scroll right this will automatically set that satellite up
    keep repeating this on all satellites needed

    usally i would do a manual scan on each sat
    a automatic scan does take a while as it will scan for all sats you activated so to speak
    dm800-s=1.1 m triax motorised dish=titanium twin lnb

    My dm800 should be arriving next week so just doing some reading. Why do you select 28.2.E with LNB1 is there any special reason as I would have expected you to align on 08.0W Thor?

    no special reason for that this just to activate the tuner setttings. so when channel lists are loaded. these sats would be grey out and not active to view as long as dish is right
    dm800-s=1.1 m triax motorised dish=titanium twin lnb

    Hi i have a DM-800 and usals is working but i would like to add another monoblock (19.2E and 23.5E)
    my setup:
    DM800 > 4 port diseqc switch >

    port1 > usals (works on its own without port2 connected)
    port2 > astra monoblock (doesnt work at all)

    is this setup possible? and if yes can someone point me to right direction?

    Thnak you.

    You need to go into non standard configuration and change the settings on the lnb from diseq 1.2 to 1.0 for the monobloc lnb.
