    Is it posible to use LNB monoblock in a motor setup ?

    I've used your instructions to install a DiSEqC motor to dish on a DM800hd. It has helped me a lot, thanks.
    However, it is possible to use an LNB monobloc, and in this way reducing the movement of the bowl?

    Here's the USALS procedure from memory (someone please jump in and correct me if I've made any mistakes)

    First make sure the dish is correctly aligned on a satellite, eg THOR 1W

    Press Menu -> Set Up -> Service Searching -> Tuner Configuration

    Choose Tuner
    ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) - Press OK

    Configuration Mode: Advanced

    Satellite : THOR 1W

    Voltage Mode: Polarization

    Tone Mode: band

    LNB : LNB 1

    DiSEqC Mode: 1.2

    Use USALS for this Sat: Yes

    Longitude: Set this to the correct Longitude for your area.
    To find the correct longitude settings for your area go to the following website
    http://www.multimap.com/

    In the "Find a Map" box at the top left of the page, enter your post code.
    Select your country in the drop down box below it and click on the "Find" button.

    This will display a map on the screen and below the map at the bottom right you
    will see your Latitude information, example below for Post Code NW1 UK :-

    Lat: 51:31:59N (51.53319)
    Lon: 0:08:40W (-0.1445)

    So in this example in the Dreambox menu you'd set

    Longitude: 51.533
    West

    Icon9 Using monoblock on a motor set up

    I use a monoblock LNB to receive 0.8 W and 4.8 E, and therefore there is no reason to move the dish between them.

    I put both positions to 1, but it dosent work

    If I use 2 different positions for the two satellites, and allow the dish to rotate, then everything is OK

    Can you help me with a solution? (Maybe I am sending this note 2 times, sorry)
