I have a tf4000 pvr plus and i had DISeC1.2 before i took it back for repair and now they changed to USALS which i don't know how to use it.

the problem is i can only view channels on one satellite e.g if am watching eutelsat i cannot switch to astra or hotbird. When i service search them it does work but if i want to watch eutelsat again i have to search for it again.

Is there a way of switching auto from one satellite to another?

i would appreciate your help.

I think your best bet might be the international part of the forum on www.topfield-europe.com

Most of the Topfield users in the UK use the TF5800, which is a terrestrial box.

Have you followed the instructions for USALS,from the manual(Page 31 onwards):

Quote:
“To use the USALS protocol, select the Installation > USALS

Setting menu.

At first you have to set the Motorized
DiSEqC 1.3 option to Enable.

To get every satellite position calculated, perform the following
steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name option.
2. Select the tuner that is connected to the motorized antenna
at the Tuner Select option.
3. Enter your location to the My Longitude option and the
My Latitude option with the V- and V+and numeric buttons.
4. Enter the position of your selected satellite to the Satellite
Angle option if it is not correct.
5. Select the Goto the position option; then the antenna
will turn toward your selected satellite as calculating its
position.
6. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom
right of the screen, is not good, then tune the antenna
finely with the Move option. The changed position is
automatically saved. At this time you had better check
the receiving quality of every transponder and choose
the best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option. It
will be helpful to your fine tuning.

thanks for your help but i have tried but without inputing my latitude and longtitude. what i don't understand is that i have searched all the satellites and they work but if i am viewing eutelsat i cannot switch to hotbird it says no signal but if i run service search for hotbird i get signal it looks like that the dish doesn't move to go automatically to the other satellite.

when i had disecq 1.2 it was ok
