Does USALS realy work??

tarzan58a

Can we get a clear confirmation if USALS really work automatically on a DM500 and using a STUB motor? I have tried a number of different images and have not yet succedeed in makeing the motor go to satellites automatically. I always have to find the sats manually and store the positions manually, otherwise the motor will not move from the zero position. If sombody knows what to do, kindly please explain.

USALS Or Universal Satellites Automatic Location System to give it its full name should work ok on a dm500.
Have you entered your latitude and longitude into the DM500?
Instructions for entering this information are contained in the instruction manual!

PLAN B is suffering from "Grumpy old man syndrome"

Yes I did enter my long and lat just as the manual says. Still USALS does not work. I am wondering if any satellite position information is normally stored by the factory inside the STUB motor itself. This is because the small manual which comes with the motor, indicates that there are preinstalled positions for about 25 satellites. How important are these factory settings? Regards.

My problem is that when using USALS, the motor will not try to move away from zero position when a new satellite is required. It is not related to LNB settings. When USALS is off and manual positing is selected, the motor works perfectly provided the positions are pre-stored manually.
