[QUOTE="alterego, post: 145526, member: 195245"] [I]"i took out skynet.sys in windows drivers dir and put in skynetu.sys"[/I] If you have the USB version of the Skystar 2, then you should use skynetu.sys. If you have the Pci version of the Skystar 2 then you should use skynet.sys. Either way, if you are using the Mibi SS2diseqc, then you must use the modded driver that came with that, and not the one that comes with the Skystar2 software. You need take no notice whatsoever of all the software interface stuff you have quoted above, since it's all been done for you. That is for people who want to write their own drivers/software. Once you have installed the plugin in the progdvb dir, and the driver in the drivers dir, then when you click on the diseqc item in the progdvb plugins menu, it should produce the window that allows you to play with the motor. But as others have said, get your disk roughly aligned first with BBC World on Thor so you can see a signal from that. Well.... In all honesty, though it goes against the sensible advice given above, I didn't go to Thor straight away. I wanted to play first to get the hang of things. So I got the dish mounted on the centre line of the motor tube, then, having got the DIseqc plugin working, I drove the dish motor to 28E using it. Then I went back out and swivelled the motor round, and adjusted the dish mount angle, until I had it visually aligned the same way as the sky dish. Then I scanned in progdvb on AStra 2D, and after a few attempts and messing with the dish mount angle, found a signal. Messed around further until I maximised the signal strength: it's all good healthy stuff going up and down the ladder. Only then having done this rough alignment and got the hang of the diseqc stuff, did I send the motor back to the 1W position and start doing things properly! [/QUOTE]
