[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1198411, member: 82144"] TV Server Configuration doesn't enable you to specify the position numbers associated with each satellite. Therefore when I read this I'm immediately suspicious that you didn't use TV Server to do it... and that's not going to work. You must store positions using TV Server Configuration, otherwise TV Server won't be able to control the motor properly. If you find it easier to align the dish/motor using an "external agent" (STB, other software etc.) that's fine. Use the external agent to drive the dish to a given position, then open TV Server Config and immediately store the position (ie. go to the DiSEqC motor tab, select the satellite, then click "store"... and nothing else). Repeat for each position. To me this implies you either: [LIST] [*]didn't store the positions using TV Server Configuration, AND/OR... [*]haven't selected the corresponding satellite in the "scanning" tab satellite row before you scan, AND/OR... [*]the "DiSEqC motor enabled" setting on the "DiSEqC motor" tab is not ticked [/LIST] If you think you've done all of these things correctly and you'd like further assistance, I'm going to need full details (log files, screenshots, step by step description of how you do your setup). No, that explanation doesn't seem plausible to me. Yes, TV Server would consider the motor to be in an unknown/undefined position on startup. However this is no problem. It'd simply cause TV Server to instruct the motor to move to the target position before scanning the first transponder. In general, if you've stored the satellite positions properly using TV Server Configuration, selected the corresponding satellite on the "scanning" tab when you scan/tune, and the "DiSEqC motor enabled" setting is ticked, TV Server should instruct the motor to move to the target position as required. No, absolutely not. [/QUOTE]
