Hello All,
Apologies if this question has been posted before.
I have recently installed motorised system based on a Technosat 6000+ receiver and a Diseqc 1.2 motor. The system at present uses Diseqc positions to locate the satellites so that I manually search for the satellite, do a few E and W adjustments and then store the position. Generally speaking this system is working OK although sometimes the receiver loses one or two of the stored positions. The big problem is finding the locations of the satellites which is, to be honest, a pain in the neck!
Both the receiver and the motor support USALS but I just cannot get USALS positioning to work on this system. When I go to the Channel Search menu and select a satellite the dish moves to the correct position and a successful channel search can be achieved. However, back in the ‘viewing mode’, selecting channels from different satellites does not cause the dish to move nor would the SAT button. So, for example, if I am on Hit Channel on Hotbird and I change the channel to Sky News on Astra, the dish remains stationary – no movement – as if the receiver is not sending the signal to the motor!
USALS is much more convenient than Diseqc, and I would really like to have it as the default positioning system. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Hasan
