Before starting the sharing process:
  • Compile a list of the motor position numbers that have been assigned for each satellite position. These are often displayed in the controller display or in the previous STB's motor installation menu.
  • Perform a RESET to 0 on the microHD to clear out any stored motor position numbers.


There are 4 ways to share the DISEqC 1.2 settings that have been previously saved in a V/Gbox or HH DiSEqC 1.2 motor:

1. With the V/GBox or DiSEqC 1.2 motor connected to the microHD, activate DiSEqC 1.2 on the microHD and use the GoToX function to issue the first motor position number to the Vbox. Once the motor has positioned the dish, select the corresponding satellite position number in the microHD and Press SAVE. Repeat for each satellite.

2. Use the V/Gbox or previous STB to select and drive the motor based on the position number. Once the motor has positioned the dish, select the corresponding position number for the satellite in the microHD activate DiSEqC 1.2 and SAVE. Repeat for each satellite. The microHD can be connected to the controller or to the loop through of the original receiver

3. With the coax disconnected from the receiver, program the microHD and save each motor position number to the corresponding satellite. Connect the coax from the MicroHD to the Vbox. The receiver will now issue the motor reference numbers and the Vbox will drive to the saved position.

4. Use an editor program. On the microHD, edit the User Data Base .udf file. Turn on DISEqC 1.2 and save the corresponding motor position number for each satellite position. Load the User Data Base .udf file back into the microHD. The receiver will now issue the motor reference numbers and the Vbox will drive to the saved position.
