How to export motor setup stored satellites?

Hi,

I recently changed my dreambox while leaving the same dish and motor. So i spent a lot of time searching and storing the satellites positions in the service searching-motor setup section. I was wondering if there is maybe some file in the receiver that stores the satellites positions and tells the motor where to turn? If there is, can I copy it to my PC and if I flash my dreambox at certain point, put it in the receiver and skipping the manual searching problem?

Thanks

Look for /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/config file.

The Diseqc settings are in the line starting with s:/elitedvb/DVB/config/lnbs/0/RotorTable

Thumbs up

Thanks. Will try it if something goes wrong with my DB (hope it won't ). Is this thing tested? Does it work for sure?

Thanks again

Yes it works but you have to follow the right command sequence.

I suggest you copy the config file to your PC after setting up all your rotor positions. Then if you have to do a restore ask again for advice if you get stuck.
