Need Help With Motorized Dish

[BabaLouie]

OK, I got my 40" Primestar dish up and running on my Stab motor. Using my Fortec Ultra receiver, I can move the dish across the arc and pick up all the birds I'm interested in. But when I'm watching TV, and want to switch to a channel on another satellite, the dish doesn't move. The only way I can change satellites is to go to the antenna setup menu, go in under 1.2, and enter movement to east or west. I know there's gotta be something simple I'm overlooking. What is it?

If USALS isn't moving the dish when you changes channels, be sure to store the 1.2 position as a number, not null. I recently ran into a similar problem because I was not putting in a location number before storing. I hope it's as simple as that for you too..

Make sure the Lat. is NORTH and the Long. is WEST when using USALS.

Remember some satellites will not work with USALS and will need to be positioned using DiSEqC 1.2 (Then the position numbered and stored)
