motorized dish + dvbdream

[yuriythebest]

I have a motorized dish that's connected via diseq 2.0. The problem that I face is that to scan any given satellite/transponder I first have to go to the diseq options, change the satellite, and only then go to the scanning for it to appear, any way to have them all available?

You need to store positions one by one and assign them to satellites manually (for each sat), then it will auto-drive the motor on channel change when needed.


- Open the Positioner Dialog, Activate it in options.
- Give a number to each sat you will use on the paper (from 1 to 63, 0 is the reference pos, max number might vary depending on the motor type specified)
- Find the satellite by using east/west movement buttons (you might need to tune to TP from that satellite , use Manual Scan dialog, you will see a small button there below the satellite selection box)
- Save the motor position with that number (Store)
- Click on Goto (this might not be necessarry)
- Select the satellite from the list
- Click on Modify
- You must see the "motor memory number" next to the satellite selection box
- Repeat these for each sat you will watch.

there is no complete USALS support yet.

you might assign more than one sat to each diseqc port.
just select the port on diseqc dialog, then click on Add

Please could you outline which USALS commands work in DD 1.4d with regard to SG2100 motor? For example, is E0 31 6B 00 functional?

is it now with the new drivers?

Nahhh ... nu USALS with latest version. You have to still do what REL stated in that you have to store positions in the motor. It does work, its just very slow. But, it does work once you lock on a bird and store the position. Getting sat to move to other birds when changing channels doesn't work very well either.
