[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1098552, member: 176704"] IIRC, in the [I]Installation Menu[/I], the SX88 series stores the sats in the order in which you"set them up". [I]OTOH[/I], when you have Exited the installation menus and are on the main screen, then those sats appear in the order of their Longitudes when you click on the Sat button - but I think when you select a particular sat via that button then what you are actually doing is like clicking on a shortcut on the PC Desktop! In your circumstances, I would be inclined to try deleting ALL the sats shown in the Installation menu, and then re-entering them in the same numerical order in the SX88+ as you have them in your TM receiver - and, where the latter has gaps, then creating sats with the same Longitudes setting as the previous lower-numbered one in the TM list and so the Geobox would not then move the dish motor until you selected a sat with a higher number than one of those "in the gap" No idea if that might work - but may be worth a shot???? Also, you can rename all the sats in the Installation Menu - so you could rename those "Gap sats" as "Gap 1", "Gap 2", or whatever would make sense in the context on what you have on the TM. [/QUOTE]
