Fortec Classic motor moving

[lumpkin666]

I feel stupid, but glancing through the guides and setup stuff, I cannot figure out what I'm missing.

I have my dish pointing at 97w and everything looks good. I look at the manual and it says to click on "move" to move the dish to another sat. Well, I cannot figure out where the heck "move" is! I go into the antenna setup, and there is nothing that indicates that it will move the dish. I click the "sat" button, but it only brings up the first sat that I've scanned, and thats it.

I'm sure I'm missing something super simple, but can someone guide me to it anyhow?

Thanks!

in my ultra and mercury you have to set the sat up in the antena page before it will move to that sat. after it as programing for that sat you hit the sat button and then the channel you want and it will move to that sat.in the anntena set up page make sure the positioner is turned on this must be done for every sat you want to go to.

I think the move button the manual mentions would be in the basic settings under "Positioner", and is applicable when using the DiseqC 1.2 settings. I think you have to choose either USALS or DiseqC1.2 then after setting up the USALS parameters you can hit save to move the dish. If you are using Diseqc1.2, there should be a "Move" button on screen, which you can push to manually move the dish, then after you have found the sat, you can save the setting. On my Fortec receivers, I think there is both a MOVE and a "NUDGE" button. THe Nudge just moves the dish a bit then stops, but I think the move button starts it moving, and you have to stop it. I don't use the move button, because when setting up DiseqC1.2 sats one by one, it usually only takes 10 or so nudges to get to the next sat. Be aware though that using DiseqC1.2, hitting the MOVE doesn't go to the satellite, but just makes the dish move, and you have to stop it at the satellite.
With my Fortec Lifetimes, there is also a MOVE button under USALS, and that WILL move to the satellite if you have set up the longitudes right. However I'm not sure whether the Classic has a MOVE in USALS.
