    Thank you very much for your quick reply, floh. I will try your suggestion during the weekend. Any way, as I have been trying my way out with the tuner configuration I never saw a complete list of sats like I see in the Non-Standard user configuration of the 500s (all sats in a grid).
    Indeed we have to set up one by one but the grid display is quite user-friendly to understand. On the 800, probably I have to set up one by one also and press ok for each one to memorize the setup.


    The better solution you point out is rather complicated because the 800 is one floor away from the positioners. I could maybe do it with the 500s wich is one shelve away but is also complicated. I said positioners, plural. In fact I have 2 V-Box II positioners controlling my Jaeger 1224 EL motor, in fact 2 motors in one - one rotates the dish and an actuator controls the inclination of it.
    As the positioners are equal V-box II and they in the same shelve, I use only one remote to control both. Sat positions for east-west and inclination are memorized with same number on each V Box so, each moves to stored position at same time. Works great. Making the dream to control both is probably not so easy.
    Thank you again

    Hello. I have 2 dreambox, 500s and 800.I have 1 motorized dish driven by dedicated V-Box II Motek positioner and 1 fixed dish.
    For each of the boxes I have 1 diseqc 1.0 Maximum 4x1 but I only use 2 in and 1 out. On the 500s I use Non-standard user configuration and all sats set up for LNB 0 (motorized dish) and 1 sat set up for LNB 1 (fixed dish). Works perfect!
    Whenever I choose a channel the diseqc switches according to the assigned LNB. If the dish is pointing to the correct sat the box opens or shows it has signal. If it's not it says "Service could not be found". I move the dish to that sat and the box immediatly gets signal.


    On the 800 it does not work like that or at least I have not found how to configure.
    I have tried different setup but presentaly I am using Simple, AA for fixed dish and AB for motorized dish. Of course this way I have to assign one sat on AA and 1 on AB. Besides having to reboot the 800 because it looses tuning for ALL channels completely rather often when I'm zapping on both sats, if I choose a channel from a sat that is not assigned on the LNB setup, it does not tune even if the dish is pointing to that sat. I have to change setup and assign the new sat on LNB, AB.


    To close this somewhat long story I would basicly like to do the same that I do on the 500. If the dish points to correct sat it shows signal if it's not I have to move the dish to get signal...


    Can somebody advise possible solutions even I have to get new diseqc switches.
    Thank you
