[QUOTE="tornado-Odessa, post: 164065, member: 200175"] @Rolfw Probably both, I mean not grasping and not explaining my setup very well. Well this is what I have learned so far, I think the installer or the translation messed me up for most of the day, when the installer told me Hotbird was 13 on the motor, I thought I could point the dish at 13E on the motor and then close in on the signal. NOT When I said above that the motor was pointing between 5-7 degrees on the motor and I was now getting signals and would try to pull in 5E or 7E.... Well 5-7 degrees on my motor turned out to be 36E, blew my mind...since then I have locked in 39E, 33E, 28E.... What you are saying makes perfect sence to me now :-bash I was also having a problem with Gemini 2.7, every time I was about to scan the third bird, it would just lock up on me, so I reflashed with 2.6 and the problem has gone away. I really appreciate your help on this, and mhku also... Still having problems with returning to a previous scaned-stored location, I don't know if it is the software or the hardware...but if I go into the channel list and change from a channel I'm watching on 28E and go to a channel on 33E, it just keeps telling me please wait while turning motor to 33E, but seems it can never get there... the only way I can get back to 33, is to re-step back to it...any ideas ? P.S. Thanks for the diagram, This has been a good lesson. [/QUOTE]
