    Help configuring tuner B on dreambox 8000

    Dear all

    I have Dreambox 8000 connected to a motorized 1.1 dish with dual LNB. 2 feeds from the LNB are connected to tuner A and B respectively. Tuner A is set to USALS and is moving and scanning satellites without a problem. I set tuner B to a second cable from LNB option to enable me to watch and record different channels on different transporders of the same dish but I have the following problems

    1. Tuner B doesn't scan any channels even when it is connected to LNB1 input of the receiver.
    2. If I start a recording while on tuner A and try to move to a different channel it says either tuner failed or no free tuner message, interestingly the channels are not greyed out.
    3. Tried earlier suggestion of putting tuner B on advanced and all satellites on LNB2 option but didn't work.
    4. I can't see an option on manual scan to allow me to scan tuner B , it is fixed on tuner A only.

    I ' m sure the Wires and LNB are connected properly.
    I use the original dream image.

    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    This is what I have on the latest 'old' nemisis.

    Tuner 'A' configuration is set to 'simple'....'single' This is connected to a static 28.2 Zone 2 dish. No Usals.

    Tuner 'B' is set on 'advanced' which is connected to the 1mtr Gibertini (Motorised) and set on Usals.

    All is working ok shouldn't really say that!

    Can't speak for the original image so I suggest you put another image on which you know works. Nemisis???

    Tuner a should be set to configuration mode = simple, mode = positioner
    Tuner B should be set to configuration mode = second cable of motorised LNB, Tuner = tuner A bla bla (internal) DVB-S2)
