Here's what I did (with screen shots).
1. General Nothing applicable to setup here for DVB
2. Capture cards
My Nexus-S card (note I also have a PVR-250 as source 1)
http://zener.com/~jonese/mythtv/card-setup.png
I've selected v1.3 Positioner (Goto X) and I believe that means USALS support.
In Advance Configuration / Diseqc Options: http://zener.com/~jonese/mythtv/card-setup-diseqc-opt.png I have my approximate Lat and Long (Calgary, Alberta, Canada).
3. Video Sources
http://zener.com/~jonese/mythtv/source-setup.png
I didn't select any fields as there is no useful DataDirect setup for this satellite/service.
4. Input connections
I go into my first input of the DVB lines
http://zener.com/~jonese/mythtv/source-setup-inputs.png
Then I setup the satellite I wish to view (123W, Galaxy 10R)

Not sure what Starting channel to put in as I don't have any satellite channels as of yet
5. Channel Editor
Go into Advanced and setup the transponder I'm wanting.

Go into Scan for channels, select Existing Transport Scan and select the transport I just entered.

2005-01-27 19:44:15.629 DVB#0 WARNING - Status: NO LOCK!
Why the no lock? Cause the motor didn't move to 123W (Galaxy 10R) and it's just poiting into free space ;-)
If I manually move the dish the 123W and do the scan again, things start to work and I get a few channels entered.
From the log above, there is no DiSEqC debug messags show any motor control commands were sent (I should see those right?).
What I'm I doing wrong?

Is "Goto X.X" USALS support functional at the moment? Actually, is
"Goto X" stored position functional? I can see some of the code is in
place in the sources...
Yes you have to set your latitude and longitude in the advanced settings under capture card. It MIGHT not work for the southern hemisphere but I know it works in the Northern one..
While setting up my DVB-S card (as the second encoder, next to my
PVR-250) I have the below options available. I understand 1-7, but 8
confuses me. Is the last 8th option mean to support USALS given your
Lat and Long? With the rest of the setup menus, I can't seem to set
things up to move the positioner to a specific satellite and scan a
specific transponder?
When you map to the videosource to an input with USALS (8) you will put in the longitude of the satellite in there..
Ideally I'd like to have positioner and switch control, but I understand
that combination is coming...
Yeah one of these days i'll get it fixed.. I would like to use switch + motor but its pretty far down on the list..
