Re: help with vspro,sg2100,4x1 diseqc,winegard 30", qph031 setup

you can go to the dish pointing menu and navigate through the satellite selection and the motor wont move.

Remove your diseqC 4 x 1 switch

run the stb cable straight to the motor.

run a l cable from the output of the motor to your switch input, then from the output of the switch run 1 port to linear 1port to circular on the qph031.

you dont need your old fixed dish anymore but if you want to, you can connect to the remaining ports to it

if when you are setting up your dish all you need is the switch port number dont worry about the 1.1 and 1.2 stuff unless you are stacking switches...I think

when scanning satellites you need to divide satellites that have both circular and linear transponders into separate satellites. reason being the LNB and switch setup, remeber 1 port for linear 1 for circular. It doesn't happen much but there are some unencrypted goodies on the circular birds worth getting.

Most sat positions are divided anyway into c and Ku bands. You can edit the C-band into a circular sat if you need to. Or add a sat. my coolsat has 4 user defined satellites I can edit as I see fit.

Key to editting a satellite if you have a blind scanner...delete everything but the strong transponder you used to lock in the satellite. Blindscan will find all it can see. If it misses some you can manually scan those few missed transponders.
