[QUOTE="Joe Black, post: 806426, member: 355221"] I bought one of these as part of the Ross HD kit, having previously had an earlier kit whose receiver had untested and documented DiSEqC features. This one keeps up with the tradition, the manual referring to "Section 6 - Advance Installation" for positioning set-up, but that section is for "Recording", which should probably have been the missing Section 7. Through trial and error, I managed to get it working on 4 satellites on my motorised installation, which has an Icecrypt DM101 (Moteck clone) with maximum drive current of 450mA. Here is the procedure that worked for me. Choose satellite in Dish Setup menu, move right to settings and up/down to "motor" Select DiSEqC 1.3. Press the green button to set location and enter latitude/longitude, then "OK" - these are saved in the box settings, not the database file. Still on the "motor" selection, press "OK" to bring up the positioner menu, select "Goto X" and press right arrow, then "OK" to confirm. The motor should turn to the correct position. If a transponder was selected, the quality bar will indicate a signal. Before leaving the menu, select "Store position", and press right arrow, then "OK" to confirm. If you don't do this, the motor will turn to another position when you exit the 1.3 menu, by a process I don't yet understand. [It's possible the box has been patched to just use DiSEqC 1.2 because the 1.3 doesn't work. There's no way to enter a position number in the 1.2 menu, so it might just use the satellite list number, and send the store command to the motor - I haven't checked to see if this has changed the positions used by my regular receiver.] The PSU was OK for me. I did get the splash screen problem at one point, but reterminating the cable fixed the problem - icarusi might want to check his connection. As for the editing software mentioned in another post, I find this can corrupt the database on saving, leaving some channels with incorrect transponder details, so it may not be 100% compatible. It may still be useful for checking channel details (SIDs, etc) which are not displayed on the box menus. [/QUOTE]
