[QUOTE="pixey, post: 18194, member: 175128"] Can anyone help me with the following regarding the motorised setup of the Humax: on pg 30-32 of the manual it states under the heading, Satellite Name. " A selection of satellite names that can be used to identify a motor position. If the satellite name you require is not available, please use other. In installer mode the Satellite Name Reference refers to the 0 position of the motor." Firstly, is is possable to change the names of the satellites (antenna alternatives) that are shown in this menu? I find this very confusing when the name of the satellite is not listed and you have to use a name from the list, or worse still, when you have to use "other1 other2 or other3". It means that you need to keep a paper record of what names are assigned to what bird so that you do not use the same name twice because that messes things right up. Secondly, when it states "In installer mode the Satellite Name Reference refers to the 0 position of the motor." what does it mean? Is the zero position of the motor is due south? If it is do you name due south (near as damn it Thor - 0.8 west) as "Reference"??? By the way, I am using a v-box and jack, not a diseq motor. The reason I am asking is that when I originally set this system I was in a big hurry as it was the first day of the season and I was just pleased to get it all working. Reciently all my sat positions have been lost (due to v-box or Humax - I don't know) and I have to set them all again, so I thought I would check that I am doing it right. I realise that unless you have a similar system you won't know the answers, but here's hoping. pixey [/QUOTE]
