[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1031164, member: 176704"] @CH Many thanks again. Sounds about the most credible interpretation VU+Plus UK in North London (Colindeep Lane) Also, I did another reset with the power on via the E/W buttons on the motor (it's a bit difficult to remove the cable from the motor right now (and a long way down the garden from the house!) and it now seems, after a few false starts, to be working reasonably predictably again. Edited: Now been experimenting with switching between USALS & 1.2 - ATM it "seems" to work better in finding sats & channels on them by putting gestimates of the longitude in USALS until you get some channels on a sat, and then switch to 1.2 and fine-tune and save the longitude in that mode - finally managed to persuade the TM to then find 3.1E (it kept searching on 4.8E in USALS mode) by setting the longitude to 2.2E in USALS, and then switching to 1.2 to fine-tune and blind search :rolleyes: . Looks to me like I do need to do what you explained above and reset the TM default Sat list in USALS - though probably not today (cinema tonight if all is well with my wife). [/QUOTE]
