It is just like changing channels on a single sat. Select the channel you want and if you have set it up, the dish will automatically swing to point at the correct satellite.

A bit more complicated than that but once set up, it is simple.

well you will have a satellite list linked to your channel list and you will select the channel and it moves to that satellite if your using usals on a diseqc motor its very simple to setup
