How to setup Vu+ with VBox II DiSEqC 1.2 Positioner.
If your VBox II already has the satellite positions stored and your changing from an old receiver to Vu+ then follow this procedure.
Write down your VBox II satellite position numbers. These are the numbers displayed on the front of the VBox II when moving to a
specific satellite position. These position numbers can also be found in your old receivers motor setup menu.
Example lets say...
Position 1 on VBox II = Astra 19e
Position 2 on VBox II = Eutelsat W2 16e
Position 3 on VBox II = Hotbird 13e
You get the idea...
First send the dish to Astra 19e using Vbox II.
On Vu+ Remote Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK
Now set Configuration Mode to Advanced. Use Left or Right keys on remote to select.
Configuration Mode: Advanced
Satellite: Astra 19e
LNB: 1
DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.
Stored position: 001
Press OK to store.
OK that's Astra 19e setup now to setup Eutelsat W2 16e
Now send the dish to Eutelsat 16E using Vbox II.
Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK
Configuration Mode: Advanced
Satellite: Eutelsat W2 16e
LNB: 2
DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.
Stored position: 002
Press OK to store.
OK that's Eutelsat W2 16e setup now to setup Hotbird 13e
Now send dish to Hotbird using Vbox II
Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK
Configuration Mode: Advanced
Satellite: Hotbird 13e
LNB: 3
DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.
Stored position: 003
Press OK to store.
You get the idea, now repeat for the rest of the satellites and your done.
This is enough to get you started, the fun starts learning the rest.
I've written a small program to backup your Vu+ Settings.
It'll come in handy for restoring all your settings after upgrading to a new image. ''
