    Re: Motorized Dish USALS & Octagon SF4008

    Hello,

    I have send my etc/enigma2/setting via MP to elbandido.

    elbandido suggest this solution (thanks) :

    " Your tuner B NIMS =
    config.Nims.1.diseqcMode=positioner
    config.Nims.1.latitude=xx.xxx
    config.Nims.1.longitude=y.y
    config.Nims.1.powerMeasurement=false

    Try changing tuner B to Advanced. Set each satellite individually for tuner B.
    I have done this in my motor system and do not have any problems or issues. "

    My tests with this config :

    Motor on 9°east tuner B signal ok channel open
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => motor don't move

    Same problem as before.

    New config ;

    stop enigma2
    replace "config.Nims.1.powerMeasurement=false" by "config.Nims.1.powerMeasurement=true"
    restart enigma2
    verify if the value is always on "true"

    same tests as above :

    Motor on 9°east tuner B signal ok channel open
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok

    All work fine...except no popup when dish is moving and location value in infobar is not correct(always 13e).

    Re: Motorized Dish USALS & Octagon SF4008

    I have forgot in the previous post,

    The new config is with :
    Tuner B
    Simple
    USALS

    It work with setting modified but I think there is a problem with this Octagon...

    Hi,

    Without reaction, I resume,

    Tuner A = Advanced = Diseqc 1.1 => 10 LNB => 52.0-45.0-42.0-39.0-28.2-23.5-19.2-13.0 east & 0.8-5.0 west.
    Tuner B = Simple = USALS => 68.5 east => 45.0 west
    Tuner C = DVB-T
    Octagon SF4008 Image OpenATV or Stable SatDreamGr

    Motor on 9°east tuner B signal ok channel open
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west TUNER A => ok
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => motor don't move
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => after 2 seconds signal ok channel open
    goto a channel on 7°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west TUNER A => ok
    goto a channel on 10°east tuner B => motor don't move
    goto a channel on 7°east tuner B => after 2 seconds signal ok channel open
    etc...

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Same tests as above with setting (etc/enigma2) modified :
    replace "config.Nims.1.powerMeasurement=false" by "config.Nims.1.powerMeasurement=true"

    Motor on 9°east tuner B signal ok channel open
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 5°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 9°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 7°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 5°west tuner A => ok
    goto a channel on 10°east tuner B => ok
    goto a channel on 7°east tuner B => ok
    etc...

    All work fine...except no popup when dish is moving and location motor value in infobar not right, always the same.

    Could you report this problem to manufacturer.
    This installation and configuration (not modified) work fine since a few years with : DM7025, Ultimo4K, ET10000 and Solo4K.

    Thanks.

    DOes the above suggest there are some issues for SF4008 when used with an USALS motor or an actuator?
