tune fail, help please....

[saj1985]

hey peeps, just got my dm800se today,
the default image on the dm800se is the allrussian image, i thought before i flash another image on the box i'll just try and scan some channels to see if all is ok.
btw before i disconnected the dm500s i had 95%snr and 90%agc on bbc world news 0.8w thor.

anyways i've sent over catseyes via dreamboxedit,
i have the sat facing thor 0.8w,
i went onto the channel bbc world news,
and im getting this message
'service unable check tuner configuration!'

i have followed this tutorial

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f39/guide-setting-up-non-usals-dm800-143072/

i've done stage 1 of the above tutorial,
i've made sure its on thor 0.8w diseqc 1.2, lnb1 and lof as univeral lnb,
under advanced settings,
but on stage two in the allrussian image im going to
setup/service searching/satfinder but cant seem to lock.

its a bit odd,
one min it showed at 100% but didnt lock,
the next min it went to 0%, wtf

i just flashed the box with openpli and then with dream elite,
i've sent over catseyes,
but when i go on to the channels for example im on thor 0.8w,
so when i go on to bbc world news it says 'tune fail'
any ideas guys?
could do with some help please

have you put the correct log/lat setting in ? silly question but you never know

i dont think i need to cause im not using usals,
im using diseqc, so under setting i said 'no to usals'

I would give usals a try mate, works sweet on my se

usals didnt work on my dm500s,
so not really used it before
do i simple put in lat and long whilst im thor 0.8w?

then tell motor to go whatever degrees right or left?

Was your other box set up using Diseqc or Usals ? I would try setting up using Usals first just enter your lat and long and give that go first m8


EDIT: you already answered before i posted Under tuner configuration choose simple\positioner\ then add your lat and long save then come out and choose the satellite you want to go to

hey peeps, i'll give this a bash tommorrow, and i'll update ya peeps,
bit knackered now

bit of a downer, was hoping to mess around with the box today!

btw the dream elite image has a nice feel to it
i dont mean physically

[saj1985]

on second thoughts i might as well give it a bash now quickly

i've put my lat/long in simple
how do i tell it to go to a specific satellite?

you'll be up all night

hope not

Bouquet button\ green\choose satellite

[saj1985]

Bouquet button\ green\choose satellite

so just to clarify,
after i input lat/long details in simple positioner,
and so long as i have catseyes on,
i just go to sat and press whatever channel and it should move over automatically right?

Yep see your still up playing

[saj1985]

Yep see your still up playing

you cant rest till its done

i just did as you said went on to thor 0.8w,
on channel bbc world news and the channels on and working

also went on hotbird 13e and 28.2e and channels are working

tried bbc hd on 28.2 working fine

one thing i noticed i that the snr is lower then what it used to be on my dm500s,
any ideas why bud?

btw usals is so much easier

p.s one channel on thor think it was musibox said tune fail but i think that was cause of 4% snr
