[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 527905, member: 256551"] There are two ways to use a DiSEqC 1.2 motor, one is to use USALS an the other to use DiSEqC 1.2 by itself. With USALS you enter your long and lat into the receiver and it will calculate how far to send the dish for each satellite and send it there. For DiSEqC by itself, you have to go round all the sats in turn and store their positions manually. It sounds to me that you have not stored your positions correctly I prefer USALs as it is easier and quicker, although sometimes it is necessary to adjust the positions slightly to get the best signal. Yes, it is possible that you could be fooled into thinking that you have a particular satellite, but it is in fact a different one, as most receivers don't have the capability to know which satellite it is, as the same transponder frequencies are used over and over again on different satellites. With a motorised dish this is most likely to occur if using DiSEqC 1.2 on its own, i.e you have stored the wrong position. Again, USALS with take this doubt away, once the dish/motor have been set up properly on your reference satellite (eg Thor) :) [/QUOTE]
