my receiver came shipped with software 2.29. diseqc 1.2 would not work. I upgraded to software 2.44 (from fortec star website using their supplied uploader program). Now diseqc 1.2 works great. OK here we go...... i loaded about 17 ku satellites in memory and power scanned all 17. after that i had a crap load of channels and all was good until receiver locked up. I tried a hard boot (switched off rocker switch on back for a minute and turned back on). When it re-booted, all of my antenna positions were lost. In the antenna setup menu under "lnb type" it read "enregister" . Under "22khz" part of the menu it read "10000" a lot of total irrelevent data was displayed under the antenna setup menu. I had to go back and reprogram all of my satellite postions. (the reason i don't use usals - i don't have a usals compliant motor). When i try to use usals mode, i am pointed true south and my correct long and lat are entered in the usals setup menu correctly, but when i choose a satellite for example galaxy 10R @ 123W it always moves too far out of range, but not consistantly out of range. I have never been able to get that part right. I was told that the moteck sg-2100 won't work with usals. it is a straight up diseqc 1.2 motor only. I was told i need a STAB-H-H 120 for usals. when the receiver starts to tweak out on me i noticed the display bar at the bottom of the screen on the tv gets very faded when you change channels. Is this a memory problem? It seems to go away when you delete most of the stored satellites. Any input is appreciated. Trucker
