Motorised dish problems - Black Hole 2.0.1.Rev.A VU Solo2

Hello everyone,

I have questions about motorized dish. The problem is that the motor does not rotate dish automatically when selected channels from other satellites. It works only when I manually select the required satellite. I was hoping that when selecting channels from favourites/bouquets, that are on the different satelites motor shout rotate the dish. Instead, there appears the flashing satellite sign in the right corner at the top, but rotor doesn't rotate dish to the different sattelite.

I use Black Hole 2.0.1.Rev.A.VU.Solo2
My setup is:
Vu+ solo2
Selfsat Stab HH90 rotor
Selfsat flat dish
DiSEqC 1.2, USALS

1. My connection from Solo2, LNB1 goes to motor and then to LNB port 1 on the dish (motorised LNB port1)
2. My connection from solo2, LNB2 goes directly to LNB port 2 on the dish.

Coordinates are set correct, USALS works without problems. Finds all satellites which as you have configured. But the motor rotates only through the Black Hole Main Menu -> Control->Channel Search-> search for satellites. After I choose sattelite, rotor points dish to the right sattelite, no problems.

But every time I want to watch channels from different sattelites, I need to do it through the main BH menu. As I understand when I choose a channel from another satellite motor should be able automatically point the antenna to the corresponding sattelite. And now need to do it manually by going to the Black Hole the main menu -> ... -> search for satellites.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

How did you configure the tuners
Tuners Setup ??
 
My dish is Selfsat H10D2 (Twin LNB)

At the moment I have only 1 cable connected, to my vu+ Solo2, while experimenting I have disconnected second cable. Before connecting the HH Rotor I had Tuner B configured = Equal to Tunner A. I think I left the same configuration for tuner B, i.e. Equal. Could it be a problem, even the cable is not connected?


Tuner A Reception Settings

Configuration mode: Advanced
Satellite: Hotbird 13E
LNB: LNB 1
Priority: Auto
LOF: Universal LNB
Voltage mode: Polarisation
Increased voltage: yes
Tone Mode: Band
DiseqC mode: 1.2
Toneburst: None
Commited DiseqC command: None
Fast DiseqC: Yes
Sequence repeat: No
Command Order: commited, toneburst
Uncommited DiseqC command: None
DiseqC repeats: None
Longitude: 005.100
Latitude: 050.767
Use USALS for this sat: Yes
 
I do not know Selfsat H10D2.
But I think it does not matter.

In your setup you have config only one SAT Hotbird 13E
I think the rotor does not rotate.

Agn test with Configuration mode: Simple and not advanced.

TUNER A

Use USUALS
You have to put only your
Longitude: 005.100 ?
Latitude: 050.767 ?


TUNER B

For Now put Lnb B tuner to not USED

and test
 
I put B tuner as not used and then it started working ! :)

When I installed HH rotor I left Tuner B configuration as it was Equal to Tunner A, and that was confusing BH, because Tunner A was configured to use Rotor, i.e. Tunner A= Tunner B

Now I configured Tunner B as Second input from LNB and it works fine :)

Thanks for help!
