You move the dish using Diseqc 1.2 to search for circular sats like other linear ones. The reason I post the degs differences between linear and circular is that you have an idea what direction you should move to search for the circular sats. Make sure you set up the Diseqc ports correctly. -/+ 4degs thing is not exact, it might be 5 or 6 degs...:-), so if you want to edit the long for the DishNet sat so USALS works, you might need to use "trial and error" approach. I am thinking of doing that as well, just don't have time to do it yet. For now, I program everything using Diseqc 1.2

Thanks again Michael. I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in SF (can't wait to get back !!)
