I couldnt have done i without you al and especially you Bill, you have been
great.

I really do hope you all dont mind all the questions. I am very new to this
and its like learning a foreign language.
The only problem I am having is how to store the satellite.
I can find Hotbird and Astra etc and see all he tv stations, but sometimes
when I select SAT on the remote and go from astra to hotbird for instance,
hotbird isnt there and i get the no signal message or INFO Positioner
Setting ! meggage and it doesnt find the satellite.

Here are the options when finding a satellite
LNB Type Universal
DiSWqC Tone A
LNB Power On
Positioner Setting 1.2


It does have USALS Bill here is the options to that too

Satellite Position 13.0E
My longitude 3.2W
My latitude 53.5N
Reference Position
Move 17.6E
Store

I have looked at the manual and on another forum soneone else has said how
bad it is and the sheer lack of info on it.
I am really struggling to be able to switch from Astra or Hispasat to
Hotbird without going into the settings and actually manually finding it all
over again. If I am on Astra and select SAT then HOTBIRD I get the message
INFO Positioner Setting ! I can leave it 5 mins and still nothing THEN when
I go to SAT and ASTRA it finds it immediately as if its already on it which
it probably is

Thanks again Sorry to be a real pain
