Originally I had setup my motorized dish with a Pansat Rx. No problem. When my Pansat went u/s i bought a CW800s. Just plugged in the cable from the motor and away we go,again no problem. Now my dish must have shifted position and I am having some difficulty realigning the 0 axis. My receiver shows my 0 axis as Nimiq 2 @ 82W. The X,X in the USALS setup is (-1.0) Just a degree off true south here in FL. For some reason I cannot locate Nimiq 2 but I'm pulling in Nimiq 1 @ 91w at 97% Quality. Here is my question: Can I make Nimiq 1 my 0 axis and how do I change that with the CW800? Do I change the X,X to (-9.0) and how do I do that? Not much help in the CW800 user guide.

I've never had a cw stb before so I'm not very familiar with its setup. Personally, I use disecq 1.2 to store all my sats. I scan in the sat and then manually nudge the dish to the next sat position and cross reference with lyngsat for working tp, saving sat position and moving on.
