    Ultimo tweaking dish position

    I have just got a new Vu+ Ultimo having read on here how good they are and I am over the moon with it especially compared to my last box its like night and day.

    I installed the latest Blackhole image downloaded from here.I have tuned a few satellites in and most are spot on but just a couple need a little tweak for the best signal I tried using the method below.

    First went to positioner setup,then I went to the positioner fine movement tab and used the green and yellow buttons to manually step the dish east or west until I got the best signal,then went to the store tab to the store tab and picked 254 to store the position. then pressed the green button to store.
    Then I disabled tuner 2 and set tuner 1 to advanced. Then set to use disecq 1.2 then selected not to use usals entered number I stored earlier after this I set the tuner to simple positioner.I did this more or less by memory from what I'd read in the past.The result was the dish moved back to its previous position.

    I then read the post by "A" and followed the instructions to the letter also chose a different number used 250 this time don't know wether that matters, only thing is I wasn't tuning a new satellite it was already stored I was trying to tweak it for a better signal. As soon as I set the tuner to simple positioner it moves back to its previous position.

    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated as its driving me bonkers.

    Many Thanks in advance.

    Already done that but if I change longitude to improve these satellites others go worse. Just thought I could disable Usals on individual satellites. Thanks again
