      DreamBox Motor Setup

      Our dreambox broke, got fixed and reset.
      Now, I am trying to set up the satellites and channels again.
      I've got Astra (19.2E) working. Now I am trying to add Eutelsat W2 (16.0E). And it doesn't seem to work and I can't figure out why. Can anybody please help?

      I've set the Satellite configuration to
      'many satellites via DiSEqC Rotor' and got both satellites added.

      On the motor config, I am trying to use the gotoXX function as I can't figure out how the other option works.
      However, when checking our longitude and latitude on the internet, we have a negative longitude and my remore control doesn't seem to have a '-'. Is the '-/+' impied by setting West or East?

      As previously mentioned, I can scan sucessfully Astra transponders and add the channels. It doesn't work for Eutelsat. What am I doing wrong?

      Thanks.

          What's your motor? gotoXX doesn't work on some motors e.g. Moteck Sg2100

          Is the '-/+' impied by setting West or East


          - Yes but see above.

          I use the POSITION mode and use the < > to manually move my dish until I get a lock on the chosen satellite, store the position and then scan it.
