Earlier, you said that your 2 working receivers used the list:
1 Hotbird
2 Astra 1
3 Eutelsat W2
4 Eutelsat W1
5 Wutelsat W3
14 Hispast
17 Badr 3
18 Astra 2
22 Turksat C1
28 Nilesat
29 Telstar 12

so I assume that the above is from your unusual "3rd" receiver. However, I'm confused because earlier you said that this receiver didn't have any numbers?
Does this receiver allow you to edit the NAMES of the sats? If so, why not just re-name the sats that appear at each number to the corresponding name used for that number in the other receivers?

But back to your recent messages, I'm confused about just what you say is happening. You say this is only happening on this one receiver, so I'm assuming that you're never connecting your two working receivers. You say that you reset the motor, and "stored the sats again", but you aren't explaining the process you use.

Ie, are you bringing up the setup page for each sat, then manually moving the dish to that sat, then saving that sat, then bringing up the page for the next sat, manually moving to that sat, then saving that sat, etc??? If not, then just what are you doing? Also, when you say "if I store Turksat last Eutelsat goes because the motor will keep the Turksat angle and vice versa" , are you saying that the motor will never go to any other satellite other than the one you just manually moved to and saved. I'm confused because it had sounded before like you said that you could get this motor moving between sats, but that it was messing up what you had set up on your other receivers.

Anyway, I am having a very hard time understanding just what you are trying to describe.


All of the above being said, I have commented on this before, months ago, but I really have a hard time understanding what possible use it is to have "pre-set sat locations" in a motor, and/or a receiver that locks out these pre-set positions. I really have a hard time understanding how Europeans use these motors/receivers. Ie the motors and receivers cannot know where the user lives relative to the sats, so these positions can't really be pre-set. The only thing I can think of is that they have them set up for some random location, and expect users to use the DiseqC1.2 "RESYNC" command to bring all the sats into a semi-correct order. This would get people close, but it wouldn't really be a very accurate way of hitting the sats, as the spacing between the sats depends on your location even if you use the resync command. Anyway, I'm very confused about how Europeans use these motorized systems.
