BTW, that "Channel 2050" ( or actually "Channel 20500" ), is one of those DATA channels that I *assume* to be Hughesnet. Those transponders have a channel structure, but there are no video/audio PIDs associated, so even though it may save as a channel, it actually isn't a channel that you can watch. It is just internet data.
Now, as to WHICH Hughesnet transponder that might be..... From your picture, I see that your receiver *THINKS* you are on
IA5 , which is one of the few sats where I don't remember seeing a Hughesnet transponder, so at a minimum, I think you are out of sync and not on the satellites you think you are on, and possibly out of alignment, or possibly your dish isn't moving. I tried to figure out which satellite from the SR value. Your picture shows that the channel was saved with an SR of 22,000. The most common SR of those data channels is 30,000, followed by 10,000, 6,000, 5,000 21,500, but I don't remember seeing one with an SR of 22,000, so I tried looking around Lyngsat and other databases, but I couldn't find a Hughesnet with an SR of 22,000. So I don't know WHAT sat you were on when you found that Channel 20500. However, I'm pretty sure that it WASN'T IA5.
Before trying to mess with doing that auto-scan thing, you have to verify that you are on the satellites you think you are on. Earlier, you said that you had "located satellites", but you didn't say how you knew this, because the only way to know that you have located satellites is to be able to scan in channels that are known to be on each satellite. So I really have to question whether you have really located satellites in the sense of knowing what sat you are on. Ie you may have located a satellite, but not the one you think you have.
Second, before doing anything, you need to locate your true south sat, and at least one sat near your horizon, otherwise you don't know if you're on or near the arc.
When trying to locate your south and extreme sats, I really recommend doing a transponder scan using a known good transponder. Don't use this auto scan or satellite scan or anything. Bring up the transponder scan, choose a known transponder and watch the
signal meters. If you get a quality reading, then do a scan, and see if the channel that scans in matches what you see in Lyngsat.
The auto scan thing you're using will only work once you have your system aligned, and I think it's very likely that you don't have it aligned.
EDIT: ALSO... are you sure that the dish is actually moving?
