Setting up a DM800 none usals
GOTO Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Tuning
Press "OK" on "TUNER A"

Go down to "LNB"
Use L/R keys to select "LNB 1"
Next ensure "Diseqc Mode" is " 1.2"
(I left the others at the default setting's)
Scroll further down to "LOF" and set it to "Universal LNB" using the L/R keys

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/2/3650-setting-up-dm800-none-usals-pdf-adobe-reader2.jpg

Underneath that set "Use USALS" for this satellite to "no" using L/R keys
Go down to "Stored position"
Set the position you want to for this satellite to appear at using L/R keys ie 001, 002 etc and press ok
Then Press "OK" to save the info you have inputted.
You will need to perform this for each Satellite position you intend to set up. Before you got to positioner setup.

STAGE 2.
GOTO back to Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Positioner Satfinder
Go down to "Satfinder"

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/2/3651-setting-up-dm800-none-usals-pdf-adobe-reader3.jpg

Using L/R keys select "Predefined or Manual transponder" as required
Go down to "Satellite" and use the L/R keys to select the Satellite to place at the above Storage postion
Press "OK"
When you have a lock exit this screen

GOTO back to Main Menu \ Setup \ Service Searching \ Positioner setup

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/1811-westkill/albums/2/3653-setting-up-dm800-none-usals-pdf-adobe-reader5.jpg

Press ok on positioner setup next picture
Go up to "Tune"
Press the "Red Button"

Press the GREEN button to store that location
After you have stored this position got back to satfind and change the satellite to the next one you want to view, when you have a lock on this satellite exit again and proceed with the satellite positioner again .
You will need to perform this for each position you intend to set up in line with what you did in stage 1
P.S. i had already put settings in so i did not have to scan any sats in.

Good guide and the pdf doc with screenshots really helps.

A quick question regarding the "Reception Settings" screen. Do you have to input your longitude and latitude co-ordinates at the bottom there?

Those figures on screen in the guide, are they default figures? Do we change them?

Cheers,

PS Gotta love the comment/question above!!!

Hi

Newbie here.

Will these instructions allow me to setup the 800hd to receive say eurobird, hotbird and astra.

As only kept 28.8 when I moved from 500DM (which was set up for the 3 sats) to 800HD could not figure out how to set up on the 800 for the 3 sats at the same time.

Any help would be great even point to previous threads if this has been posted before

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm new here, I read a lot but I'm not sure if I found what I need.

I have to move antenna to next sat from dm 800 menu, not from positioner.
I have to tell you that I have prime focus, with actuator, not HH.

Sorry Guys will this sticky allow me to set up the Frontwave to view/access 28.8, 19.2 and 13 which I have positioned on the Dish.



Had it working fine for the DM500 but cannot seem to get it for the Dm800. Well I can only seem to access the 28.8 channels but cannot figure out how to view the other channels on 19.9 and 13. Was hoping too see if there was a walk through or instructions that could help or point me int he right direction please. Thanks

can anyone tell me what to do to set up to use for 4 satellites, no motor, a basic disqu switch.
I know the ports on the disqu switch and the satelittes that are feeding each port.
Already flashed and patched.

I have followed guide to the point of storing satellites 28.2 and 19.

I have all the channels on 28.2 but how do I get the dish to move to 19 so I can do a scan

Any best guode to setup DM800HD with motorized dish with C+KU LNB with a Diseqc switch.
When I setup, with LNB1 with C-band with Diseqc 1.2 and A/A command. LNB2 with KU band universal with Diseqc 1.2 and A/B command. USAL=No.

Sometimes dish does not move to the stored location, while on DM500 has no issue.

Thank you

All,
I am new in this forum. I have a DM800 with Domica 8.0. I tried several images and I have the same problem when I try to configure the positioner. My dish is not oriented as it need to be (South 0.0). When I search for a satellite and I found it. I store it on a dedicated position (1). After exit, the motor move to another place. Are the satellites positions are automatically calculated as I have filled the longitude and latitude of my position?
Could someone help please?
PS: I tried several images and the problem is the same.
Thanks in advance.

All,
sorry, I had to reply first to access to the pdf file explaining how to set up satellites positions manually. I discovered what was wrong in my configuration. In fact, to set up manually satellites, I had to set Usual to No. That's it. I suppose, if we set Usual to yes, the OS calculate automatically the satellites positions using longitude and latitude we have stored within satellite configuration.
Thanks to whom posted the procedure.

Help Please

I can't set up more than one sat!
I'm using Blackhole image, latest, have tried others, got a moteck v boxII to move the motor.

I go through the following procedure to set up and scan a satellite:-

1. Go into Tuner Configuration and choose a satellite,
Astra 28.2E,
then I choose all other settings within that menu,
LNB 1, Universal LNB, 13V, DiseqC mode 1.2, Use Usals for this sat = NO, stored position = 1.

2. Go into Positioner Setup,
Choose Tune, (Red Button) and then select Astra 28.2E, set a frequency that I know I can get (BBC) then press OK.

3. Go into Positioner Movement and find Astra 28.2E - all OK so far.

3. Go into Auto Scan, and scan in channels.

Right up to this point it works OK, I now have all channels available scanned in for 28.2E.

I now try to repeat the process for the next satellite,

1. I choose Thor or any other satellite.
choose all other settings as in no. 1. above, except I use stored position = 2.

2. Go into Positioner Setup,
Choose Tune, (Red Button) and then try to move off Astra 28.2E, but cannot, it won't let me scroll through the satellites to any other, it just is stuck on Astra 28.2E?

Any ideas guys

Hi I just got my Dreambox and used this guide to set it up. Works really well with my dumb stab motor. Used the settings as described and it worked perfectly.
I have one issue that seems to be problematic. The box will not store all the satellites after I scan them so on the satellites green button I only seem to be able to access the default sat list.
I am sure I will get to the bottom of it but it is causing me some grief. The channels that it has found for the non default satellites are not even displayed in the all channels red button menu??

Thanks any way for a great guide it got me started anyway.

hi guys, i to am having similar problems with my newly purchased dm800se. i have no problems finding three sats that i like however when i scan the sats for channels very few are found, infact only 36 on 28* and they appear to be italian (rai) and radio. theres somthing amiss, can somone shed some light on this. im sure its somthing simple. anybody have any ideas. i have no problems with my tm 1500ci connected to the dish. so im assumeing its a box/operater issue. oh and its got peterpan image loaded if that has any bearing on it. regards lips.

You will need to put the correct long and lat in that matches your home address here mine as an example.

Google dishpointer.com and put in your full address including postcode.

Sounds like you are not assigning each stored position a different number, The 800se will not store the numbers automatically you have to do these yourself.

Probably the easier way of numbering so you dont get confused is store 28.2? - No.28, 19.2? - No.19 etc...
