Dreambox Non-Standard Diseqc Setup

[Jimdefruit]

Thanks to Dingo on a forum near you!!!!!

------

First of all at Satellite configuration you have to choose
"non standard user defined configuration....."

My configuration is

LNB0 - Astra1 (Diseqc input A)
LNB1 - Hotbird (Diseqc input B)
LNB2 - Hispasat (Diseqc input C)
LNB3 - Diseqc Motor ( i choose disecq motor last, so every time i want to add a new sat , it will be added at the end & take LNB3 which is the last (Diseqc input D))

Go to LNB column and press OK on the number ,

be sure that at LNB0 , Sat/LNB mapping is LNB0
press blue button (next page)
ToneBurst : None
Diseqc mode: Version 1.0
Diseqc Parameter: A/A
SAVE

be sure that at LNB1 , Sat/LNB mapping is LNB1
press blue button (next page)
ToneBurst : None
Diseqc mode: Version 1.0
Diseqc Parameter: A/B
SAVE

be sure that at LNB2 , Sat/LNB mapping is LNB2
press blue button (next page)
ToneBurst : None
Diseqc mode: Version 1.0
Diseqc Parameter: B/A
SAVE

Now , for all the satellites with the diseqc motor

be sure that at LNB3 , Sat/LNB mapping is LNB3
press blue button (next page)
ToneBurst : None
Diseqc mode: Version 1.2
Diseqc Parameter: B/B
Diseqc Repeats : none
Ucommitted Switch : none
SAVE

Now every time you want to add a satellite for you motor
just press new (blue button)
and your receiver will assign LNB3 automatically

If you go to Motor Setup menu you can see all the satellites that you had assigned.

Hey, nice one Jim. I was going to have a play with this myself, so this should give me a head start

That's looking very similar to what I have, 3 fixed and one motorised LNB.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Yep. Works as expected, and carries over all the LNB3 settings for additional satellites

Thanks for the test Stick.

Dingo is a well trusted dreamboxer and I felt safe in posting the info even though I dont have the diseqc setup described.
