I did that, i took my position with an gps, putet ther in lnb config, and afther that changing channels.conf form diferent satelites, but i did something wrong because i did not manage to get signal, until i setup my antena manualy again (form left right switches of motor).
My idea was to use this patch and stored position from my motor!!

Hy,
I want to use this patch, but i dont know how. Only
this is necesary to
move the motor:
S5.0W 11700 V 9750 G v t S5.0W 99999 V 10600 G v T S5.0W 11700 H 9750 G V t S5.0W 99999 H 10600 G V T
or should be like this:
S1.0W 11700 V 9750 G v t [e0 31 6e 01(this bite
should be positon in rotor
?] S1.0W 99999 V 10600 G v T [e0 31 6e 01] S1.0W 11700 H 9750 G V t [e0 31 6e 01] S1.0W 99999 H 10600 G V T [e0 31 6e 01]
with settings like this my motor wont move!
The first config should be ok.
And in lnb setup menu at degres what should i put
there, my position? Yes, your position.
How this pach works??
Patch is originaly written by Seppo Ingalsuo (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-March/016164.html).
The patch uses algo from vdr-rotor patch to calculate angle to which motor should move and send then the gotox diseqc command [e0 31 6e p1 p2] where p1 and p2 is calculated angle. If you have dish with closer beam be sure to have position of satellites in sources.conf and channels.conf written in right way (for example satellites at 1.0W are at 0.83W and 0.75W exactly) to be able to receive also weaker transponders.
The patch send this command only when satellite is changing. You should also use it for motor behind diseqc switch. The next example is for 4-input diseqc switch which has diseqc motor connected to input 4. Please be sure that in such way your dvb card will not be overloaded with output current (you should use motor which disconnect LNB when moving and card with electronically limited output current to prevent damages).
S0.8W 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 FC] W150 G v t S0.8W 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 FD] W150 G v T S0.8W 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FE] W150 G V t S0.8W 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FF] W150 G V T

This is not how this patch is working. But if your motor is moving when using this patch and you didn't get the signal your motor could be badly oriented to the south.
