Hi ... Thanks for the assistance.. There is a very detailed , blow by blow account on how to set up a positioner  AND  LNB tuner in the OPENVIX  website in their  DOWNLOADABLE PDF. .  .  I would now advise anyone in my situation to use it. .. The fundamental problem in my case  was that the OPENPLi image defaulted to a ULAS rather than the slightly more primitive DISqC1.2 .which my positioner used 

Hello,

If you are new to Enigma2/OpenPLi may be first have a look in the wiki pages:

Thank you . I did in fact do that and it was the excellence of this Wiki, which gave me the confidence to load OPENPL1 8.3 , and to use the Hans satellite list.   My source of puzzlement is that  although I know that the dish and LNB are pointing at  a satellite,  it often will not recognise any transponders or channels , whereas the exact same  LNB pointed at the exact same satellite using a conventional non Enigma machine has no difficulty. . Now I am not a stranger to satellite recievers , but this is my first Enigma 2 box. .  So is it particular to Enigma 2 or edision  or S2X tuners, but it seems weird.
