    you dont need to do anything setup the other tuner as Simple - Positioner and then enter your longitude and latitude details if your Motorised dish has been set up with USALS anyway.

    After that just install a Motorised channel list

    To setup tuner 2 for the motor dish

    Goto www.dishpointer.com

    enter your postcode........and get the Long & Lat (see photo bottom left)

    press menu on the remote setup/service searching/tuner config/tuner B/press sideways on the remote till you get simple
    then enter the Long & Lat east or west

    Then go to BBC1 on your channel list (28.2) the dish will move
    if your dish is setup right you should get a picture
