    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

        Ok because i am new i wanted to make it clear what i am asking

        Vu solo 2 set up with tuner B set to a fixed dish on 28 with the q skin all working fine

        i now want to set up my motorised dish to tuner a and this is what i am stuck on.

        i have downloaded a list called cateye which has all the satellites on

        Waht i require help on is

        a how to set up tuner 1 for motorised on my solo 2 ? are there any guides for this ?

        the cateye file where do i copy this too is it the memory-stick or the main directory on the vu solo if so can someone tell me what directory please

        the prgogram i am using to transfer my files to solo is the dcc dreambox control centre

        thanks in advance

            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
