Okay, I now have more information.

In following the instructions for installing the dish, I am here:
  • In the USALS (or DiSEqC 1.3) menu, enter your Latitude (##.# N) and your Longitude (###.# W)
  • Select one of the FTA satellites such as IA5 KU at 97W
  • Select MOVE
  • The Motor will now move the dish to where the satellite is.
I don't see anywhere on the *positioner menu* where there is a MOVE. I select the sat, input my lat/long and hit the green button for save and return. At this point, nothing happens. No motor movement. I do have a steady green at the motor. If I go into the menu and choose Goto REF, the motor moves all the way over and stays there until I go over to the dish and manually move it back.

What would cause this? I have checked my coax, and it is new RG-6 and new connectors.

I have tried doing this with each sat, but, the dish just sits there and does not move any at all unless I Goto REF.

Thanks
