[QUOTE="Tony Daly, post: 1098763, member: 402465"] I had a chance this evening to put in a few satellites on the SX88+. All went well until I got to No16 on my GBOX list. The first 15 numbers including 2 dummy satellites which were numbers 7 & 8 went in ok. When I came to the next satellite & I went to save it I got number 17 instead of 16 on the GBOX display ? I have no idea why this happened. There seems to be no way on the SX88+to put in whatever number you want for a satellite position I have tried several things including saving the dummy satellite in Usals instead of DiSEqC 1.2 but no difference. I also tried using the GBOX remote to change the number down to 16 & saved it. That's doesn't work because the SX88+ won't show the satellite until I save it again which puts it back up to 17 again :eek: I may have to start from the start & save the satellite positions on the SX88+ one after the other & then try & to replicate those positions on the TM7102HD which will probably give me the same problem on the TM. Fortunately I have the number of motor pulses written down so I can drive the GBOX to any satellite position very quickly from either receiver using the receivers remotes. Apart from the numbering problem I have the Octagon receiver works well once you get used to the way the menus operate. I've also noticed that the blind search in the SX88+ scans the entire satellite & doesn't allow you to enter frequencies between which you can search ? The TM allows you to do this. Tony. [/QUOTE]
