[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1030062, member: 82144"] I expect by the signal level and quality indicators for the selected satellite/transponder. Have you looked at the the DiSEqC motor tab? I doubt that will work. MP's motor support works by storing positions in the motor and in TV Server's database. It sounds like you've stored positions in the motor memory, but TV Server doesn't know about them so it can't say "go to position 1" and know that the dish is at 28.2E. Here is an example. Keep in mind I've never used a motor and I did not create the motor support so I could be wrong. Say you receive two satellite positions: 28.2E and 39E. In the initial setup, you use the controls in TV Server configuration to align the dish to 28.2E. Once you're satisfied with the alignment (by looking at the signal strength/quality and performing test scans) you click "store position". This will store 28.2E as position A in TV Server and the motor memory. Then you align for 39E. Again, when you're satisfied with alignment you store this position as well. This will store 39E as position B. The same applies for any number of additional positions. In this way you build up a link between the positions that TV Server knows about and the position that the motor knows about. Since you've already stored positions in the motor you probably want to use some other software to tell the motor to go to each position then simply store that position in TV Server configuration (ie. no need to use TV Server to align). For a start you would post the log files so I could check them. Then it would be a case of trial and error to see whether using the movement controls is changing the signal strength/quality.
