Look in the DiseqC 1.2 section, even if you plan to use USALS.

HOWEVER, I really saw nothing in your original post to suggest that this is necessarily your problem, although it is certainly a common problem. But I also didn't see where you ever indicated what you did to move your dish. Were you trying to move it via DiseqC 1.2 or via USALS? If USALS, the most common problem is that you have entered either your own coordinates wrong, or the coordinates of the sat you're trying to go to, and usually the mistake is putting in "E" longitude instead of "W", etc.

Your original comment about the motor being set for "London", makes me think that you are referring to the preset DiseqC positions. These motors seem to come with the first 26 sat positions preset as satellites visible from Europe. On my Fortec receivers, it at first didn't even seem possible to alter these definitions, which seems really weird to me, however I was eventually able to figure out how to use these preset positions for other satellites. This was necessary, because otherwise I didn't have enough satellite positions available.
