Why are you using advanced?

Is that not the correct way, as i tune all my satellites manually? I have just finished reflashing my receiver and setting it up. When the guy firred my system he sowed me how it was done and i took a photo of it for future reference. All i changed was the Disq to 1.2 to get USALS.

If your motor is correctly aligned for USALs, there is no need for you to be using diseqc motor controls (1.2). Set it up for USALS and go from there.

Any tuner with no cable connected to it, must be set to not configured for time being.
Assumption for your setup is: Tuner > cable to motor > cable to LNB

As it is, your screenshot is wrong orientation, not very clear and only shows one satellite. You would need to check all settings are correct. Maybe taking screenshots would be better if you must insist on using non-usals mode?

had something like that happen to me when the unit was in standby over night, I worked out that its was EPGrefresh doing its timed scan, so you don't have a free tuner to receive channels so they are greyed out,
if you have something like EPGrefresh might be worth checking times,
