Here's a wierd one. More head scratching: When I go into antenna setup on my viewsat plat, and select for example, nimiq2, the title bar of the screen where it says "Antenna Setup" will be blank and after running the motor around, it will get a solid signal but will then show galaxy11 at 91w, even though I've selected nimiq2. The nimiq2 82w bird is the one I'm trying to look at since it's my true south (re-aligning dish after not tightening bolts before windstorm) and it shows solid green with excellent quality indicated on that satellite. I don't know what's causing this. Am I 9 degrees off or is this just whacked? Is the motor sending the receiver a built in identifier on the motor for the satellite that it thinks it's pointing to with my receiver thinking that it's correct, or is the receiver getting a signal from the satellite indicating the satellite that I'm actually looking at?

Thanks!

Changing alignment colors in the Fortec setup.

Here's what I've got, what can I do? (newbie looking for options)
