A question for HH users.

I would like to know :
1)If a receiver (in particular, a FS Lifetime Ultra) will automatically move the dish according to which channel is selected?
2)If so, does it matter if it is a DiSEqC 1.2 or USAL compliant motor?

I have a BUD and you manually have to initiate the move to the sat you want and THEN select the channel for that sat. It gets old, Fast!

1. Yes
2. No.

Most of Bud users slave DVB receiver to analog/4DTV one, which moves the dish and controlls the skew (polarities).
Diseqc 1.2 command can not move Bud.

So what is the difference between a FTA setup with a diSEqC 1.2 motor and a USALS motor?

Diseqc 1.2: you have to manually move the dish and program the sat positions.
USALS (aka diseqc 1.3): the receiver will automatically move the dish to your desired satellites (assuming your dish tracks the arc correctly and correct Long/Lat is keyed in).
