How to configure Skystar 2 and motor?

I installed last progdvb 64bits in my windows 7 64bits, and finally this version works fine with my SS2... but now I have no idea how to do to make the antenna move between satellites...

I have a positioner for my card in Diseqc settings, and is the only I see... but I have no idea how to do to add another LNB to the positioner... the add buttons don´t do nothing.

I did a search in this forum, and read the manual, but is old, and there isn´t a word about it...

How must I do to configure progdvb to move the antenna between satellites?
Thanks

You would NOT add another LNB to a positioner, as there is only one, physically.
Check it's properties.

Ok, I checked the LNB properties, and press over "more than one position" and add the satellites.... (I have ALL the day reading google links about that) but still the antenna don´t move at all when I choose a channel in another satellite...

Please, could you put me in the right direcction to do it?

To allow people to try and help, please allow a few more questions:

- what kind of positioner is it, exactly ?

- would it store positions internally or leave this to the software / receiver, just stepping somewhere to as being told then ?

- what DiSEqC controls version would it accept, according to it's specs ?

- did you ever use it successfully before, and if, with what, exactly ?

Anyway, someone else would have to proceed then, as I don't have any positioner over here to play around with.
