I assume you are talking about the MicroHD? Since you posted it in the main area I dont know

I suggest downloading the manual or read the review and check the pictures. That has alot of information

Hi Iceberg.

I ran through the MicroHD manual, but could not see anywhere to set my long and lat.
I do need a new pair of glasses though...

page 44 (it says 42 on the tabs but its page 44 in the pdf)

select USALS and hit "OK" while on USALS option.

So if the motor is installed and pointing south, along with the correct alt settings. will the receiver automatically goto my requested SAT?
Also on the old receiver I had to reset to factory default first, because the receiver was set with preset glorystar settings...the same with the new? Get yourself over here Iceberg.. we need you! LOL

If you can't find a single channel on 97W, you have REAL problems with your setup! That sat has more channels then all the rest combined.

Yeah Primestar.
I think I will uninstall the motor tomorrow and start from scratch...
I sent out 5 emails to local installers, but no responses.
I guess business must be so good that they have no time for new work.

do a satellite blind scan (not a transponder scan) and see what it picks up. Regardless of what satellite you have set up if it finds something it will log transponders/channels

Make sure you set up the motor on your true south satellite... Sacramento might be around 121W? Should some signals on that bird to line it up to. If all the rest of the geometry is good when you switch to 97W you should see the TPs light up when it gets there.
I am hoping mine arrives next week!

 

[Mr Tony]

Sacramento's true south is actually 121W

Latitude: 38.6°N
Longitude: 121.5°W
State: California
City: Sacramento

I had to look at a map Ice...

When I first unboxed my micro and connected it for the new FW download it was reading 97W on the opposite polarity for some reason. I did the download and reset and then it was reading proper polarity. I wanted to do that before scanning anything.
