[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 523517, member: 256551"] If you go to dishpointer, and zoom right into your location on the map, and select the sat you want, it draws a yellow line in the direction of the satellite, so thats the azimuth roughly sorted. For the elevation, start of with it as per dispointer. Then just use a methodical approach to get a signal. E.g set the elevation, them very slowly swing from one side to the other, if you find nothing, set the elevation a tiny bit higher and repeat until you do. If you still find nothing, you should have gone lower instead.:-rofl2 To bypass the motor just connect the wire that comes from the receiver straight to the LNB. At the moment you will have one wire going to the motor and then a wire coming out that goes to the LNB. Diseqc 1.2 works by storing a number of satellite positions in the motor, the receiver just picks one of them, but initially you have to go round storing them in the first place. USALS is a bit of software in the receiver that sends a command to the receiver to go toa certain angle instead, based on your longitude and latitude. What may be an idea, before you do anything is to try resetting the motor. The procedure for varies depending on the motor though, some have buttons, it may be possible to do it from the receiver also. Also you could try using USALS, see if you can get it working with that. :) [/QUOTE]
