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 USALS, 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
