Interesting setup you have.

Normally, if you are using a motor, you will only need LNB. Of course I understand you want to track both kinds of sats. Unfortunately, you cannot use both disecq and motor simultaneously. It is usually one or the other. To answer your question about disecq 1.2 or USALS, if you are using a motor, you must select USALS. Which means that you do not have the flexibility of selecting which LNB (connected to a disecq switch) you want to use when used with a motor. Which means that you can connect only one LNB using a motor. You are really limited by the functional limitations of the receiver. All receivers that I have knowledge about only give you the option to select either USALS(use with motor) or disecq(use with switch). Maybe future receivers will allow both.

Maybe others may have more info on this setup.
