have followed instructions this time it did scan some sats but not all that i ticked and when i press yellow button to change sat it does not drive dish .

[Aldo]

Did you follow all of the instructions as posted in this part of the procedure:

Go to Menu / Sat Settings, scroll down the left hand list and click OK to select all the Sats you want to scan, this will give them a tick.
Right arrow across, scroll down to Motor, right arrow to select ‘Diseq/Usals’, OK, Scroll down to Mode, select Drive to Satellite, scroll down to Set Location, OK, Scroll down Set Long then Lat then save, scroll to Go ‘Save Data and run’ thats it.

Now to scan, Goto Menu / Automatic Sat Scan scroll down to ‘Scan select’ and change to ‘All Sat’, thats it, go get a coffee while it scans.

If using USAL's you will have to input the coordinates for your location.

Have you already manually stored all the satellite positions, using Diseqc?

[spurskev]

hi yes i did try manually storing some sats and ok am now trying scan again but finding no channels on some.

have followed instructions this time it did scan some sats but not all that i ticked and when i press yellow button to change sat it does not drive dish .

Are total channels scanned ( tv/radio ) greater than 6000?

Checdk out the strongest transponder list, on the forum, and try scanning these into your receiver.
Are you are using a V-Box II, as you're using Diseqc 1.2?
What size dish do you have?
Which satellites have you already got scanned in?

i done a factory reset and lost what i had am now scanning 13e but like i said i followed the instructions ticked about a sats it did not do 39and did not want to change sat.

[spurskev]

i,ve got a 90cm dish and am useing a diseq motor ,13e ,16e 19e 28e 30w cheers

Have you got a back up, of your channel list?
Have you set your East/West limits? If you set these limits incorrectly your dish will not move far enough to get some satellites.
I think it might be wise to start from scratch, and best to wait until tomorrow, so you can view your dish, as you're setting it up.
When using Diseqc 1.2, to set up your motor, it's probably best to start at your nearest true south satellite, probably 0.8W, then after setting your limits, add each available satellite in turn. so start at 0.8W then move east, 3e, 5e, 7e, 9e, 10e, 13e, 16e, 19.2e, 23.5e, 26e, 28.2e, 39e, once you've finished the eastern section move back to 0.8w and do the westerly satellites.

Just read your last post, as you already have 30W to 28.2E, then adding other satellites should be easy. Move to 13E, go into the motor menu and select 9E, then move west, right arrow, until you maximize the signal.
Once found save this, then do the same for 7E, 5E, 3E, and 0.8W.

thanks for your help will do that tomorrow starting from scratch .cheers
