Post some screenshots of the settings you are using (or have tried). Is the motor moving? Has the motor been used successfully with a previous receiver?

A simple photo of your screen from your phone and attach it to your reply will do the trick.

Are you using USALS, or Diseqc 1.2, to drive your motor/dish?
With Diseqc 1.2 you have to manually assign a different number, to each stored satellite, and move the dish, using your menu setup options, to that satellite, then store it.
USALS is easier, as you just enter your Latitude, and Longitude, remembering negative Longitude readings = West.

That box has only one tuner so on Tuner A arrow down to mode and toggle right with arrow until you get positioner. Then with your longitude ie where you live, arrow down and put it in, then same for latitude. But make sure you change east to west if you are west of greenwich or if dover way it stays east. green to save, now exit out and select 28east. Check a channel. Then go ok arrow up, green for sats and you should have a list of sats on box . Try 13east and dish should move. You may have to scan that sat. This is a condensed version.

Well I have to say I admire your patience, it was obviously an automatic scan. Hope you get all the channels you want. You can check signal strength with that Vix image and fine tune by tweaking the USALS. I have a 1.1m dish so signal strength is very high. Say dish size and approx area and channels and I can work from there but if you are happy then as they say " if it aint broke dont fix it"

And thanks for getting back to us.
enjoy
