Thread: Viewsat xtreme dillama

I have 36" KU Motorized dish With Viewsat xtreme I'm able to get signals for several satellite but each time I move the satellite from one signal to another I'm not able to get the previous signal.

I do believe I'm storing each position after each blind search I do,but nothing seem to be saved.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Which Motor Setting are you using UALS or Diseqc 1.2?

under my antenna setup I have

Diseqc 1.0 None

Motor User

Thank you

If you setup to your True South Sat, the Sat at or as close to your Longitude, I would try using USALS for Motor Control.

When you are in that setup menu and see Motor-User, try the arrow button and see if you can select USALS. For each satellite you have set up. Or you can choose Diseqc 1.2 and save position on each satellite when you locate them.

I have tried to use the USALS option and the dish moved from 97w to 101w and that was great.

However,now I can't get the dish to move back to 97w or any other satellite using the USAlS. the following is my setting.

LNB TYPE Universal
LNB High 10600
LNB LOW 9750
MOTOR USALS

Also in the Usals Menu after pressing OK MOVE it shows a message antenna moving but really it is not moving.

Thank you for all the help.

I am using a Viewsat Xtreme but with a 12 ft Mesh Dish with an Actuator Dish Mover. Have about 28 Satellites stored on the Xtreme. For receiving KU Band, First you need to set :
LNB Type = Standard
LNB Freq = 10750

What type of Motor are you using? Ie is it a Stab HH -120? As Turbo said you have to store each satellite on your motor setting after blind scanning and that is in the Motor Setting (ie USALS, User, or Installer) - press it then scroll up to the arrow key to store and save the satellite. For my Stab Motor and my 1 Meter Dish I used:
Motor = USALS . And once you locate the Satellite you have to store the setting by Pressing on USALS and Pressing and scrolling up to the arrow and press again to store the Sat. Also (almost forgot) you need to set in your Latitude and Longitude on the Receiver Settings if you have a Stab type of Motor. Hope this helps.

Freebie what kind of lnbf are you using? If it IS a universal, then you're set, but if it is a standard lnbf, your LO setting will be 10750.

If I select standard for for the LNB there is no pic/sound.
If I select Universal there is pic/sound. So is that mean the LNB universal?

I have also changed High 10750/Low 9750

Motor is H-H Sc-2100

Using USALS still shows this message antenna moving but it is not moving!

I had manually moved the dish by pressing the button on the motor to 97w from `101w saved and exited. Then selected 101w from the menu,dish moved to 101,but again it does not move anywhere else by USALS

Thank you
