DiSEqC 1.2
DiSEqC 1.2 is a protocol for motor-driven dishes, the dish/motor-combination itself needs to be
aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at 0°. It is possible to
manually search and store every satellite individually.
Refer to the manual of your motor-drive for more detailed information. Modern motor drives have
usually also the capability of the enhanced DiSEqC 1.3 protocol, which would be preferred, since it
can find satellite positions automatically, relative to a geographical location.
