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

Thanks for the info Westkill. Just one question, after setting up all the satellites i needed.What is the next step.Do i have to do a manual scan or automatic scan.

[westkill]

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

[kamel22]

Thanks for the quick reply westkill, I,ll try this later at home after work and let you know if ok.

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?

[westkill]

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

I may need help here.I have

Lat:58:59:32N (58.99219)
Lon:16:10:26E (16.17391)

Plz tell me how to put in the box...the box shows me something like 058.000 and 016..

Noobish

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.
