Are you using Usals or Diseqc 1.2? If Usals have you entered your latitude, and longitude? How did you set the dish up?

well m confused about the configuration on dm800se.

in configuration mode--advanced, dont get the Usals optiotion in disqc mode, only get 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2

but in configuration mode under simple mode setup, there is option to select Positioner.

i selected positioner from there and opened positioner setup. there i can see the satellite i alligned but when i press store position, the lock on satellite lost and cant lock it, dont know wot m doing wring?
 
Set the usals up correctly. Then move the motor to your reference satellite if the dish and motor scales are correct then move the dish and motor around the pole to where the reference point is and with patience you'll get there just take your time and be sure everything is in place correctly first and you will get there.

Use simple mode, select positioner, enter your coordinates and, if the dish is aligned properly, you'll be good to go.
 
Also advanced mode Diseqc 1.2 has a use Usals for this Sat section right at the very end
 
Yes but with a single dish/LNB, there's absolutely no need to use advanced mode. It just creates a lot of confusion.

I totally agree but it is there and is helpful if you where setting up more than one dish through a diseqc switch comes in very handy.

But as CJ states its just Simple - Positioner and then enter your longitude and latitude settings
 
thanks guys, does work with simple mode config by entering coordinates. now the big task for me. i have 3 more fixed dishes that i want to set up with motorized . motorized is now alligned to 0.8w, rest are 28.2, 19.2e and 13e, all work perfect with sipmle settings with disqc A/B/C/D, motorized here as fixed. but of course want to use the motorized dish not as fixed so tried the following settings in advanced config mode:

these are the settings i have set, but i get no signal on any satellite after that.

so wot m doing wrong here, trying to sort it out since last night, no luck ?
 
Here's USALs on mine. What kind of switch are the dishes connected to? I assume it's a normal DiSEqC 1.0 4-port switch?

Settings look OK to me, but someone will be along shortly with a better idea than me.
 
yes its a normal disqc 4port switch, and yes i do have the usals options in disqc 1.2 at the bottom, it comes on the next page, didnt notice that before sorry bout that, changed my coordinates in there now, but still same the options screen is below

just an update, i get 1 satellite 28.2e which is on the first input of the disqc swtich, changed the committed disqc command from AB to input 2 .
then changed 28.2e to input 3 and lnb 3 and 19.2e on input 2 and lnb 2. still get 28.2e and not 19e or any other.


tried to change the rest as well the same way but no luck on them.
