Hi, I am trying to setup a motorised dish, i have put in the longitude and latitude figures and setup to due south which satellite i have tuned into 7W Nilesat. I have then sent the motor back to 0 degrees then back to 7W and altered accordingly. But when i send it to look for say 28.2 the motor is either going back to 0 or opposite direction any ideas why. Thanks. | ||

Haven't installed a motor dish in Canaries but assuming you have a decent size dish, I would say 15W was a better ref satellite to set up on  | |||

My System: Technomate TM6800D & TM1000D+ receivers, Stab H-H90 motorised Triax 1m dish 42E to 30W. Fixed Orbital 1m on 26E, 2 x minidishes.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox. |
Long and lat are only necessary for USALS through Diseqc1.2.

Di | The dish is 1 metre and the motor is a mot-sat3 with diseqc 1.2 i also setup the longitude as 16.35 west and latitude 28.07 north. I have entered these in the gotox section in the dreambox 500s. Thanks for replies. | ||

You could always try it without the gotoX, just use Diseqc1.2 alone and store the positions manually. Robbo
