Sorry that the SATA thing didn't work. I guess it was a long shot. Re how I used the Twinhan to move the dish, unfortunately, I wasn't using the Twinhan software. I was using a program called THMOVER, which you can get at:

THMOVER is a handy application for when searching for sats, because it has fairly fast acting meters. You can type in the freq/sr then bump the dish along while watching a fairly fast response meter. I used this to find sats, then used it to store DiseqC1.2 positions into my motor. It's nice, because it allowed me to use the first 25 pre-set positions that were excluded by my Lifetime receiver, since I was running short of sat numbers.
Anyway, this was the only time I used the Twinhan to move the dish, but it worked just fine. Other programs shouldn't be any different, but sometimes the more complicated software is harder to use. Give THMOVER a try. Very simple.
