VIEWSAT EXTREME is ok? So Ice, in your opinion, should I just keep the VIEWSAT EXTREME?

Decisions OK, I wil call to see what my return policy on the VIEWSAT EXTREME 2000 and perhaps get a Fortec Mercury instead. I assume I can leave the dish assy intact and just replace the STB?

ViewSat Extreme and its poor USALS Ok, now I understand what everyone was saying about ViewSat Extreme doesn't work well with motorized system because it won't remember the location. I wonder if I can return my ViewSat Extreme and exchange it for something else better or I think someone...

FOUND SatMex 5!! Ok, I found SatMex 5 now but how do I save this as my true south or what is my next step? I use the motor to user and move the dish 7 degree to find SatMex 5 but I don't think I can manually move the dish to where I was beause the motor move the dish by swing it upwards and...

Ok, I zero out the motor and pointed at SatMax 5 at 116.8, by-pass the diseqc switch and motor, punch in all the TP but I still got nothing on Q. S is at 72% now but nothing for Q at all. Am I missing something completely?

Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate them. Tomorrow morning I will by-pass the switch, zero out the motor and make sure everything is plump then I will attach the motor to the reciver directly and hook up to the small TV outside to max out SatMax by following all the replies I have...

Thanks for all the advices... I'm going to try something... I will zero out the motor and move the dish by hand based on the information I have. Now... do I point the dish at 115 (which is my longitude) or do I try to point my dish to true South? I figure out once I find true south SatMax...
