Thread: Diseqc 1.2

Need step by step guide to setup AZBOX Diseqc 1.2 .

Any exist? If so where?

easy setup...DONT

Last I checked DIseqc 1.2 & AZbox are like oil and water..they dont work together

couple threads on the subject
http://www.satelliteguys.us/azbox-di...eqc-1-2-a.html (Azbox Elite USALS/DiSEqC 1.2 control)

http://www.satelliteguys.us/azbox-di...-dont-mix.html (azbox and SG2100 dont mix??)

Thanks Iceberg

What can I use to move the Big C Band Dish?

I do not like 4DTV, no way to upgrade sats, no PC control etc.

I have GBOx which I like.

Another receiver to control dish? Which one?

Well, it seems that there's all kinds of problems using diseqc to move a dish. Some say it's a problem with the Gbox or Vbox or actuator and now it's the Azbox itself. Doesn't any of this stuff work properly?

You need to re-check you're findings their.
with the 5020 fw right now, and in the 1.2 mode works like a champ with no problem at all.

when I tried the 4295, an the 4880 it changed motor position numbers around, but that was because of the channel list got corrupted, but the AZ has always ran my G-box just fine since May of 2009.

I recently upgraded to the 5020 fw and recently got a Gbox so I'll see if everything works OK tomorrow after I do my BUD modification for the actuator. I'll let ya know.......

From reading some other threads I found out that my Vbox may be OK because I don't think that I changed back to "Go to position" after saving the position. I was wondering why it wouldn't move the dish to any sat other than AMC1.

4991 is the most recent stuff I have which is less than a month old and still had issues.
The threads I linked too were older posts but at the time still were correct

when storing the position locations in the AZ, their is no need to return back to "Go to Position", just select you're position number or leave it on auto and click on save (you should see the G-box blink with the number that was saved), then exit out of the 1.2 part of the menu.

now as far as AMC-1, I would say that you're sat list was corrupt, I have noticed this when I have did up grades of fw in the past. what happen was my motor location position numbers got moved around and where hidden on other satellites, even though some satellites never had a stored position number, but you could see that number greyed out even when that sat had the Diseqc 1.2 was set to OFF, when you where using 1 of the editors. the fix for this is to, turn that satellite back on to the DiseqC 1.2, then select 0 for a position number then save it, now you can go back and turn the 1.2 off or change it to any position number you want.
