help with medialink black panther

[mrmacca]

hi all ,
been setting up the black panther box , having problems getting my dish to move when i change to a different sat , at first was having problems locking on to a sat but if i do it manually i can find them and scan them , store them and then when i want to watch a different sat and press the channel my motor wont move , any idea why , all help much appreciated.

Going by your description I assume you're using Diseqc 1.2, what type of motor do you have?
Have you tried using Usals?

hi mate ,
thanks for the reply , been looking about the settings and all the box has on it is disecq 1 and disecq 1.1 not 1.2 , would this be the problem .

using a manhatten motor , everything was fine on my eagle box , when i setup my blackpanther thats when motor wouldnt work properly so i have just again checked it on my eagle box and its now doing the same on that i can move it manually but it wont move when i send it to a sat.

Of course it has 1.2 and USALS, try reading the instructions?

Go to motor control, not DiSEqC settings for static dishes

have read the instructions , and im actually on motor control and it will let me move the dish to satellites and scan them and store them but then when i want to change a channel to a different satelite it wont move .

You have to save the position and then select another satellite is satellite setup and move the dish to that satellite and save that position and so on and then when you want to watch a channel on a different satellite you will bring up a list of satellites select the one you want and it will move the dish to that satellite assuming you have programmed it in using DiSEqC 1.2. Btw it will also have USALS.

thanks for the advice , yep thats what i have been doing , saving every position then moving to next sat and saving that , press the blue button to bring a list of sats press on one and choose a channel and nothing happens , it stays on the last sat that i scanned , also tried usals and put in my lat and long and when i pressed goto nothing happened again , will reset to factory defaults and have another go today .
cheers

Check your connections, there might be a loose connection, or something causing a short.
Start at the one goiong in the back of your receiver and work back to the motor and LNB.
