I have a TeVii card and a Stab HH-120 motor (both with Usals). I have not understood how to drive the antenna into "0" postion (for adjusting it into south direction).

ProgDVB use USALS only for satellite positions.

But how to tell the motor to turn into 0 position and wait there?

Thank you for the answer.

I am not sure that i declared clearly what i want. Now again.

I am using ProgDVB, a TeVii card that knows speaking Usuals and DisEqc1.2, and a dish motor that also speaks Usuals and DisEqc1.2.

Digital TV receivers that know Usuals often have a button "Goto 0". This is helpful to adjust the antenna to south.

I hope that this feature is also available with ProgDVB. I do not have an external receiver and i am still trying to find the satellite radio stations from Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republik, Great Britain, Slovakia, France and more.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Copied from STAB H to H mount manual

Return to the 0 position of the rotor... This function enables the rotor to return to the 0 position and to reset the inside counter. It is very important to re-align all satellite positions that can be slightly slid eastwards or westwards from the reference stored positions. In a receiver, this function could be named "RE-ALIGN", "RESET", GOTO POS 00" or "REFERENCE"

ProgDVB does show a "Goto 0" in its USALS menu, but this does not move the motor/rotor to position 0 which is a shame as it would be usefull.
