yes it is possible infact its been known especially on teh technomate range of motors which are usuals that they work far better on diseqc

yes,...in tuner config, set it to advanced
option to use USALs, set it to no
then set it to your req position, ie; 19 east set it to 19 and so on
save
then go to positioner movement, nudge the dish east or west until you fnd the sat you are after, and save the position to ( if 19 east ) 19

but really USALs are your best option

Is your dish aligned correctly? If the dish is algined correctly you shouldn't have any issues provided you input your correct longitude and latitude.

It is also important that you set the Lnb to the same number as the position ....for eg..28.2e stored position 1 set Lnb to Lnb1...then 19.2e stored pos.2 set the Lnb to Lnb2...then 16.0e stored pos.3 set the Lnb to Lnb3 and so on for each Sat. found.

hope this is of help..
