Viewsat and motors

I am going to use 110 and 119 as examples.I have 3 LNBs - 1 linear and 2 circular(Im using 2 circular because I dont want dish to move between Echo6,8 and Echo 7 and just had to find middle position to get signal from this 2 sats without move).I attached a picture of my dish and you can see it down here.

Now the explanation :

Viewsat Plat 1051, Sg2100, Winegard DS2076,Pansat Diseq 4x1

Menu -> Installation -> Antenna Setup -> Highlight EchoStar 7

Set Lnb to Standard
Set Lnb Freq. 11250
set all these settings as you would any other time.Then set first motor to installer and go to far possible east or west and leave it there.Then exit to settings screen again and change MOTOR set to USALS and leave it highlighted then push the F1 key on the remote should be RED

Now push the arrow button on your remote that corresponds with the arrow out beside Longtitude. Use the number keys to enter your longitude like 81.9 then hit the up and down arrows on your remote til you see W now your longitude should look like 81.9W If that is what you see press the ok button.

Now push the arrow button that corresponds with the arrow out beside Latitude and enter your latitude with the number keys like 38.5 then use the arrow keys again to enter either N or S If you see your latitude as 38.5N then hit the OK button on remote.

Press exit on remote you should see a dialog box pop up saying do you want to save. Yes! Now you will see another dialog box that says Please wait motor is moving. Once that box disappears click exit and exit and exit .

Then while you are on the channel and still doesnt show picture press F3 and go EAST or WEST till find the highest signal and save the position OK.Works like a charm for me.After you have made this for each one setellite will be stored forever and the motor will go CORRECT to any sat.
