When ever i put it on usuals, it goes to the sat but i have to move it to the left or to the right , save it so i could get signal. HELP??????????????

Sounds like you need to tweak your alignment.
Using USALS go to your True South Sat, do you get a lock without having to move it?

 

[tibaboo]

yes. It locks on the sat, but no signal.. I have to tweak it with the remote

i'm in miami and the setup for the motor is 25/64 and i also set my dish at 30 . I even use a meter to get better signal. But once i change to anothere sat (no signal) and go back tp previous sat (No signal ) also

When I said "Lock" I mean, Are you getting Quality?
According to this Calc Page...
Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values
Your Dish should be set to 26 (+ / - a few)
Motor is set to Your Latitude: 25.8 (exact as possible)

AMC 5 @ 79 west is your True South, are you getting Quality there using USALS only?
AMC 5 TP info: 11900 H 2170

If so, then you go to a different Sat using USALS like Horz 2 @ 74 west you Do Not get Quality, then return to AMC5 using USALS you do not get Quality.

Check motor "slop", gently push and pull the Dish, is there any play?

i have a play in the motor.. In the motor's arm.

So i need to set up the motor on the 25.7 on 1 side and 54.7 on the other side and my dish at 30. AM I RIGHT

The play in the motor's arm needs to be taken care of...

Here is what I got, you do not need to add the declination angle.
