It looks like it has some saved sat positions. You could try unticking usals and then deleting saved positions. Alternatively you could just re-image it and start again.

tx for the reply but how do i reimage the box. its on gemini image at the mo tx

[krazylegz]

connect box with dreamup and serial null modem cable, tick use network box if you have it connected to router, select the image that you have downloaded and press flash erase and wait for it to finish

what motor are you using?.... diseq or acuator?

ces

[john1509]

the motor is a dg-280 diseqc h-h mount. compatible with all diseqc 1.2 recevers

so its powered via the sat cable....it may need resetting...if it does you will need to start the calibration on 1 degree west as this is the highest point of the arc....its no hardship my friend once this has been established

tx ces for your help m8. just have to sort out how to reset the motor. in the book it has 3 options for resetting. 1 is reset with dicqe. 2 is reset with recever 3 is reset with holding the east and west buttons for 5 seconds. think the 3rd option is best what do you think tx

are you using the USALS?
