	If I manually aim the dish, myth will scan and find frequencies
and insert the numbers into the database.

	I have tried a few setting, and have been looking / tracing the
code and worst case scenario I'm going to need delay times of nearly a
minute.

	I really curious if I'm spending my time trying to make
something work that can't. If I remember correctly I read some where
that the code broke many years ago.

	I managed to get bits and pieces working but the other problem
I have is when I go to record a program, myth rotates the dish to
position 0

	So I'm trying to confirm that the dish rotation logic is broke
or does it work for other users and I just need to find the right
settings.

	If it does work, then does it only work for USALS positoners
and then do I need to write the code for VBox controllers. My gut is
telling me it's broke but maybe I just need to work harder :-)
