[mythtv-users] Diseqc problem with SG2100 rotor and MythTV

I'm using one of these motors and have been for a while.  Best way with
Mythtv is to use USALS.  Set your dish up to point DUE SOUTH.  Set the
elevation and azimuth as per the book.  

Then in Myth, set up your motor in the diseqc tree - don't forget to add
your LNB after the motor.  Then add a satellite that's in the sound like
91W or similar (depending on LNB you have).  Do a scan for channels or
something similar and the dish/motor will turn to point to that
satellite.  If everything was setup properly you should see a lock.  If
you don't, then you have to loosen some ofthe bolts and turn the entire
thing ease/west up/down until you get the strongest signal.  After you
have locked onto this first satellite, you should have no problems
getting the rest in!

Good luck.
