Help with Installing HH90 Motor

Hello I have purchased a Stab HH90 motor and am using it with a Coolsat6000 and a Fortec 36 inch dish. I have made sure the mast in perfectly level etc and I have gotten a good signal at 91 Nimiq. I then try to scan the other satellites like 110, 119 and 82 and I get nothing. If I use USALS and use the move option I can then get the signal on those dishes and I scan the channels in no problem. I can then watch that particular satellite channel. However when I change channels to another satellite, the satellite keeps going back to Nimiq 91. So no matter what satellite I am on in the motorized settings it says I am on Nimiq91 even tho it says another satellite like echostar 119. I am puzzled as to why it keeps defaulting to the Nimiq91 and I lose the satellite signal that I had previously at a strong signal??? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated thank you.

what channels are you scaning in on these sats?

I have scanned the channels on 82,91, 110, and 119. The first time I installed the motor everything was working great. Then it stopped working so I thought I would go up on roof to re adjust the dish etc. Everything was done again as before but this time the motor goes to say 110 and then stays there for a few seconds and then it rolls back to my 'starting' position (the one satellite I use for true south positioning) which is in my case 91 nimiq. It never used to roll back to the 91 but now it does. I have tried the MOVE position tab on the Motor install screen on my coolsat and still no luck. My puzzlement is why the dish does not stay locked on the satellites once I choose that satellite. I must have something set wrong but not sure what. Thank you for taking the time to reply and help me out.

you didn't answer my question what channels are you receiving from these sats. as these are scramble and require either dish network or bell express equipment and a subscription to receive them I was just wondering what you was getting with a coolsat receiver.

I don't think there was sarcasm there. He's just giving you a last chance to convince us that you're not getting into an area that is against the rules of the forum.

exactly Bill this post just seems fishy right from the start but was trying to give him the benefit of doubt.
