Please note that I don't have the space in my garden to put all of these in, BUT I do have a Wavefrontier T90 (yep, the big one) with 8 LNB's on it, and using SCR, all 8 positions can be viewed simultanuously on all receivers in the house. That's enough for me. No rotor-related trouble.
Erik, very nice setup. Can you give a little more details, eg. brands (LNB's, switches, etc.).
Thanks.

LNB's: the cheapest I could get, various brands and types. Most important, when you're using a Wavefrontier, is that they're narrow and small (so a "long neck" won't help) otherwise you'll won't be able to fit them.
Switches: two JESS switches, each 4 positions in, 2 x 6 UB out (see signature).
That's enough for me, other positions either don't have a significant amount of FTA service, or languages I don't understand or simply can't be received here (either because of footprint or because of the roof of the house).

My current satellites on that dish are 12.5W, 7.0W, 5.0W, 0.8W, 3.0E, 4.8E, 7.0E, 9.0E, 10.0E, 13.0E,16.0E, 19.2E, 23.5E, 26.0E. Plus a couple of other dishes connected to the same system.
2x Spaun, uncommitted, and 4x committed, allows 19 LNB.
I used to have that dish set up for 30.0W to 26.0E but across such a wide range it is a bit deaf at either end. Had to make a custom LNB bar for that range.

You have replace the LNB rail so you can fit in LNB's close together. This a real problem on the Wavefrontiers.

Yes, I made a custom bar, and it is longer too. I think 3 degrees separation is about the minimum using the standard LNB holders. On mine I have 9.0E and 10.0E on 2 different LNBs (using multiconnects). That was before getting involved with enigma2 and I had plenty of free time.

The standard LNB holders of the T90 are bad, a total blemish on this great product. One issue is that the bolts that secure the ring are on the side, taking more space than necessary. Another issue is that you can't adjust the height of the LNB. The only thing you can do is try to approximate the "best" position by adjusting the angle of the complete dish, based on the first and the last LNB. My experience is that reception of individial LNB's can be improved if they could be positioned higher or lower towards the bar.

Ok, i can see nobody here can help me about my request so i'll avoid to use channel selection and i'll use "Motor setup" when need to move from one sat to other.

Yep. The holders I am using are fully adjustable. Can raise/lower, point up/down, left/right, and slide along the bar.
Did you make it yourself? I assume such a comprehensive holder is not commercially available?

I bought the holders online a few years ago. I don't remember where from. And made the rail.

When I made the original calculations for the enhancements in the PositionerSetup, I could ever only test these with the rotor that I had at that time. Some years ago I had to replace it, but I used the same model (still with plastic gears unfortunately). The rotor step size for my model is 0.36 degrees, while the most common rotors in use have step sizes of 0.1 or 0.11 degrees.
There is a trade-off in the speed of movement and the stability/time of the measurements.
My question please to those of you that use this plugin and that have rotors with such step sizes : Is the plugin working to your satisfaction regarding speed, range and measurement stability in the auto-focus and calibrate functions ?
If possible, please report the step size that you use and your comments - if any.
I am interested in your experience since I will soon need to replace my rotor (with a model with metallic gears hopefully).
