    What are your tuner configurations? Can you not just download a channel list?

    What are you trying to do? Scan the channels on 28.2 or align your dish to 28.2 and save the location? If it is just tune in the chanenls, I'd use ABM for now. USALs is easier than diseqc motor controls. Menu >setup> service seraching >tuner configration.

    I think it might be a good idea for you to read Pheonix's guide as it will shed light on many things.

    I suspect you went into the advanced mode of the tuner configuration and saved the postion. You can move it back and then save the location. It is however easier to use USALS as the positioner control software.

    In my limited experience, once the settings in advanced are messed up, reverting to simple does not nullify them. They must be corrected before going to simple. A lot easier to USB flash and start from scratch. This applies to PLi 3.0 as well the Vix image. (Hopefully, someone can rebuff this with the correct method.)

    Anyway, if you do start from scratch, your tuner configuration for the motorised tuner should be:

    Config mode = simple
    Mode = positioner
    Longitude = enter your values ( +ve is east, -ve is west)
    Latitude = enter your values ( +ve is north, -ve is south)

    Leave the other options at the default values.

    You can get your co-ordinates from dishpointer.com. If your dish aligned correctly, it will calculate the positon of every satellite. You can then scan individual satellites or transfer a premade chanenl list or a combination of both.
