Need some help understanding positioner gotox
Added by Hector Kicklag about 8 years ago
Hi, I have just bent my dish completely over trying to get my head around setting up a simple positioner
I have set it up initially how it should be. It goes to position #1 satellite, try's to play channel and hangs.
What am I missing? I would have thought as long as you had programmed satellite numbers in your motek (disqec 2.1) positioner, this thing would turn to that satellite and play ?
frustration, perhaps it is the version of tvheandend? being a ngihtly build etc... if so can someone suggest a version where the GOTOX actually works ?

Ok I get it now .. rotor initialisation time what, how shit. Hope my 3m mesh isn't too damaged now, will report back.
Thought you developers would have a better work around for this already .. how totally shit. So no matter what sat I go to , I have to wait the total maximum time between too furthermost birds..
lol what a joke

Ok so it might miss the initial scans while waiting for the dish to move and then you can 'Active' that again and it works.
BUT good to see it retunes the channel if it doesn't tune properly if the rotor initialisation time period covers the tune period - no data. retune for the channel just kicks in again and vwala
cheers. but still shit I think that 120 seconds is totally shit
