3.2 Using a Motorized Dish
While a fixed dish usually only picks up one satellite, a motorized dish can pick
up multiple satellites.
There are two control methods for motorized dishes: DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS. With
DiSEqC 1.2, the user must manually operate the dish to locate satellites one by
one. The digital TV receiver stores each satellite position for later use. With US-
ALS, the receiver can pinpoint all visible satellites through calculations using the
dish coordinates and the built-in database of satellite positions.
Using DiSEqC 1.2
Open the apps screen and select
