Is it possible to link a program such as "Prog Finder" (progdvb.com/prog_sat_finder.html) or something simillar to my Vu Solo2?

To send disecq1.2 commands and adjust the dish this way?

I can not find (after several days) the Telstar at 15W with the installed Positioner Setup ...

Thanks
 
Can you please post your general location, and the size of your dish.
If you can't get 15W by manually moving your dish, using the fine positioner options, then I doubt a computer program will work.
 
I've my longitude and latitude entered, the dish is 100cm. My location is Flanders just under the Dutch border.
What would be the strongest transponder on Telstar?
 
Probably one on the Europe beam, I'd try Jim Jam, 11150 V 19279 DVB-S:

Success. Had to adjust the elevation and declination angle on the dish. Was 99% on the Astra before but when turning to Telstar apparently not good enough.
12608 H is a good frequency to point to. (Gunaz TV)
It's mostly for the DAD-5 feed. (American live feed of NBC, CNBC at night)
