I can only agree.

FTANEW: You must assure you lined up the motor/dish/lnb ALL at ZERO to your mangtically corrected south setting. Then, and only then, will USALS be able to track correctly. I have a strange feeling that although you are getting the dish sat signal, something is out-of-whack when you get there. Then you attempt to adjust to another sat (ie satmex) using USALS, and it doesnt work because your initial lineup was not perfect.

What's strange for me is that with your setup you get dish's sats signals. If I try with my linear FTA lnb I dont get any signals at all from dish's sats. Then again, I'm on an ultra not a Pansat although they are purportedly the same thing.
