Yes, this looks good.

So you want to use your diseqc.conf. Have you set "Use Diseqc" in LNB-Setup
of VDR to 'Yes'?
To store a position you have to go East/West until you've found the
satellite (e.g Thor). Then you have to select position 3 by selecting the
right satellite (press left/right) in the plugin-menu or just type in 3 when
you are on 'Store xx'. That should be all. Now you can test it by selecting
'Goto 3'. Thereby the right satellite should be displayed if the (right)
entry is in diseqc.conf. (Otherwise 'Not in DISEQC.CONF' will be displayed).
