Monoblock setup 1E and 5E help!? :-)

[Simo219h]

Hi :-)

I Got a problem setting up My Vu+ Duo so I can watch channels from 1W and 5E. I am using a monoblock 6 degree (this one http://www.bmradio.dk/product_info.p...oducts_id=2793 )

I dont know what the settings has to be on the receiver??

Hope anyone can help me.. :-)

yes mate, the problem is that the degree of separation for your monoblock is 6 degrees but you are trying to use it to pick up two satellites that are only 5 degrees in separation..

on your settings under satellite configuration you need to select 2 satellites by DiSEqC.. then place the weaker signal as option A and the stronger one as option B..

I'm not sure it will work though.. maybe someone else could clarify

Thanks for the response, but that did not work, i am only able to scan channels on 5E, I find that pretty strange.

ny1 else out there? :')

hi simo219h,yes i have the same problem,i can pick up sirius 4.8 on my monoblock,but carnt pick anything up on thor not even 1 channel,very annoying because anything thats worth watching at the moment is on thor,there,s over a hundred channels open including sports,movies,and documentrys, but good luck keep asking and someone might have a solution

[Simo219h]

I found a solution!

lnb1 should be AB and lnb2 should be BA. and then when you search do the separate satellites scan.

That worked for me.. :-)

@opsmonkey
1W - 0 (1 degree)
0 - 1E (2 degrees)
1E - 2E (3 degrees)
2E - 3E (4 degrees)
3E - 4E (5 degrees)
4E - 5E (6 degrees)

So, your answer is wrong!
Old post, yes I can see that.

hi just wondering what a monoblock is? is it to search for extra channels ? sorry to sound dumb just never heard of it ?

It's a dual LNB ( 2 LNB's in a single case ) so you can receive 2 satellites normally 6 degrees apart, without moving the dish.

just tried reading online what an lnb is (low noise block) that all went over my head
