Setting up your Captain with a motor
I did this how to for a member elsewhere who was having problems. I was not running the motor on my Captain at the time I did this so if there is corrections please fell free to modify this.
This is how I did my motor setup with my Captain 8k,
remember to start at 0 position on your motor
Go to dish settings select your bird closest to your longitude mine is 82 highlight
Now go over to diseqc switch press OK and choose motor exit once
set up your switch if you have any(my lnb gets both linear and circular birds so I have a 22khz switch circ. birds I enable my 22khz tone & lin. birds I disable 22khz tone)
I always enable my network search and set my search type to all--I have found that my Captain seems to miss channels if I dont set these two settings this way.
Now hit the blue button to take you to motor scan
Go down to motor type & press OK until you see USALS
You will need to know your longitude and latitude for this next step, I used dishpointer.c*m to find out my coordinates.
Press OK on longitude enter your numbers--you may have to change from east to west depending were you live to do this sellect longitude and press volume up button on the remote exit and it should change for you from east to west
Now that you have your coordinates entered go over to the right side of the screen and sellect go to stored position press OK and your motor should go to your selected bird
When it stops and if your signals are all good do a auto scan when your scan is done exit and save if asked
Now go through all the birds you can pick up and do the same procedure
Once all your birds are scanned in you just should just have to hit your sat button choose a bird and your motor will go to that bird.
