Need help to fine tune motor

[Fred Cole]

Hi There, I have a VU plus solo with a motorised dish and it works on USALS. I live in a very windy area. Sometimes the signal strength goes down considerably and I have to increase the longitude by one to get the signal strength back. Even when the signal is at its highest (87%) , certain weak channels struggle to be viewed. I need to find a way to fine tune the satellite position to increase the signal strength.

Maybe I could disable USALS and save the main satellites (13E 19.2E 28,2E etc) manually so that when the signal is a bit weak, I can simply fine tune the dish position? But I do not know how to do this, can anyone tell me how?

When I had a dreambox, I used to uncheck "GOTOXX"

Thanks for reading

I have the same problem, except I can fine tune but when I leave that menu it goes back to where it was.

Can anyone help?

Try not to use USALS. But in this way you have to store every sat positon manually. Here is HowTo http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/tuner-config-tutorial-for-motor-dish-setup.12884/

Thanks for answering, tried following the link you gave me, problem is that I have a vu plus solo with 1 tuner so I cannot choose tuner B, is there another way to do this?

Just use Tuner A instead of B.
