adding SATS on Openbox Rec.

[dfecarter]

WHen looking at the preloaded US Satellites inside of my OpneBox Sat Hawk Receiver, I notice that 111.1 W was not on the list. THis is the Canadian sat. that has 3 college course chs. in the clear. in fact I get them in well.
So like I said, it wasn't on the list that came loaded in my new rec.
So I added it and it appears on the Sat list now...however when I initiate the scan for that location, the motor doesn't move, i.e. I don't get the "moving" message on the screen before the scanning commences! And what ends up happening is the last sat. location I was at - gets rescanned and I merely get the transponders/chs. pertaining to the location I was previously at. Hope I'm explaining adequately!
Any thoughts of experience with this issue?
Thanks!

If using USALS, did you program the location 111.1 W? If it's E, think it would error or ignore. That's all I can think of.

Forgot about: Motor Type in Antenna setup. That would do it also.

and that was it! thanks FaT Air, once I went back in to the set up and selected USALS for all Sats - the motor now responds to the scan command! thanks again, that would have driven my crazy before I would have figured it out...
