    motorized question

    I have my technomate working perfect with my 88cm dish in my mothers house, so when setting up my new dish/motor at my house using this reciever will the saved sat positions work with my new setup, without having to manually store positions again, or should i delete all sats except my reference sat and search for sats on my new setup.

    if you use usals put your new long/lat in the motorised settings menu and put the new lat in on the motor scale.you will not have to delete any sats.once re-connected at your new address just send the motor to your target sat say 1West,then search for that sat by swinging the dish/motor assembly L/R and the dish only up/down.once found and max signal obtained tighten up and job done outside.then back to the box and adjust your longitude setting by 0.2 E/W to try and improve signal as much as possible.do not adjust the latitude. once target sat is ok all other sats will be found.
