Ok, Got everything hooked up, and from previous posts help, I learned how to use GotoX andd can now connect my dish straight to my USB box.
What I can't seem to find out is, I just assume that when you move to a sat, say AMC-3 how do I save that spot (I have to fine tune from the gotoX spot) so it goes there everytime, and how do you tell it to move from sat to sat by changeing channels? I just assume that it's supposed to move on it's own, say you click pbs hd it moves there, you click on a t5 channel it moves there. But I assume too much sometimes, a quick google search on nextorm brigns up this page: http://www.nextormdigital.com/Download.html with downloads of a manual, a version of software slightly newer (2.06 it says but when I tried it I think it still sad version 1 build 6something, but looks like it had more TP updates in it, will have to compare more on that later, I went back to cd version for other reasons). But on this page is a Test Report, in it I read between the lines, it mentions changing channels on the same TP is a few seconds, but other TP's on same sat are several seconds long. It never mentions changeing satellites, I don't know if it's because the test did not have a motor dish, or because the software does not auto move, requires manual moving of the dish.
So to get to my point, does anyone use the included software to move the dish vs slaving it off another box, if so does the software auto move when changing birds, or am I screded up somewhere?
Thanks
( I have a copy of DVBDream, haven't got the hang of either on yet, I may try that software more to see if I can make it move automaticly)
