motorised dish help.

Did this ever get sorted?

I have something similar with the flashing icon but no signal. When I go to sat finder though, it locks onto them all.

Very frustrating

No mate, never got it sorted. I've had a replacement vu+ duo clone sent out, this one being a version 2.
It is better but still get problems.
No idea what causes it.

In that it sometimes picks up and sometimes doesn't?

That's the problem I've had, but like I said in another thread, I think it's a risk that you run with a clone

Same as you. If you change channels to a different sat sometimes just flashing satellite comes up but no picture.
If you go into sat finder it goes to the required satellite then it's all fine from there.
Rather annoying.

Here's a tip which ever satellite your on make a note of the TP frequency ie: Horizontal or Vertical and then if your watching a Horizontal polarised channel when choosing a channel on another satellite try choosing a similar TP with a Horizontal polarity.

This should help with the motor as first your receiver does not have to send the 22khz tone to switch between a H or V channel and then power the dish, you may notice a speed increase also when keeping to the same polarity.


Heres a chart to help you as you not only have H and V but Low and high bands as well.


Supply Voltage Supply Tone LO Frequency Polarization Received Frequency Band Received IF Range Used
13 V 0 kHz 9.75 GHz Vertical Low (10.70-11.70 GHz) 950-1950 MHz
18 V 0 kHz 9.75 GHz Horizontal Low (10.70-11.70 GHz) 950-1950 MHz
13 V 22 kHz 10.60 GHz Vertical High (11.70-12.75 GHz) 1100-2150 MHz
18 V 22 kHz 10.60 GHz Horizontal High (11.70-12.75 GHz) 1100-2150 MHz
