I have only this box connected to the system. The second test box is on the same system. All I do is swap the lnb input from one to the other . The rest box is an s9 and works with no issues. I have had several boxes over the years. Fortec, Pansat , Sonicview S9 , S10 and others. I've Worked with satellite for over 20 years so I'm not a novice. This is then first box I've had so many problems with. Just thought maybe someone had an answer. I've connected this box directly to the system bypassing the switch. I can't pull my hair out beause I have none left LOL. Guess I will take Carlospr43's advice and see about getting it replaced. Thanks for the comment, But I think I have covered all the bases.

I ask you the same questions I would ask myself. Always start at the lowest point or most basic stuff and then work towards things that are more complicated. Many times people will add things to the antenna system, thinking everything is correct when it is not. Having seen this several times makes me ask basic questions when there is a problem.
I do not have a premium 3 receiver, but would expect it to work with diseqc motor or positioner. Maybe some that do have the Premium 3 will test it with a positiner and USALS motor to make sure that the issues you have are not firmware related. It would be bad to send it back only to receive another that has the same issues. If the premium 3 works fine receiving a single satellite when connected straight to the dish antenna, and without using any diseqc 1.2 or USALS commands, or any switch commands, then I would suspect that the hardware is OK and the firmware is bad..

El bandido, I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted you to know I wasn't a newbe. I ask myself the same questions you ask me. Infact several times. The only problem is I have no answers LOL. I requested an RMA today but I'l l hold off returing it untill maybe Eastofill has a chance to run some tests. The last thing I want to do is return the box. I done another reset on it to night and programed in a couple of ku sats. The cable is connected directly to the HH Motor. The Motor is working fine I just tested it with my S9. One thing I did notice is after scanning AMC1 I went in and disabled the motor so I could test scan the S9 without the motor moving. After disabling the motor I exited out of the menu back to the channel screen my singnal dropped completly out.. So went back in and turnd the moter back on and the signal returned.. Quit for tonight will try and run more tests tomarrow.. Thanks for the input.

I hooked my x2 III up to my 4' ku dish. I started at Amc 6 at 72w and inserted all the necessary info and a blind scan came up empty. I manually entered the NBC mux info and scanned it in without any issues however a susequent blind scan came up empty again. I attempted to move the dish to SB at 78w and it did that flawlessly but still no channels on a blind scan and even the TVO tp yields no signal. I exited out and in a few seconds the dish moved back to Amc 6. I will add all my American arc ku sats later on and report back.

I've gotten to Ses 2 at 87w and the dish is moving flawlessly in between sats. The only issue I'm having is that blind scan on ku with a universal lnbf doesn't work if you change the default scan from 10700-12750 to 11700-12200. However, it does do a fast blind scan if you just leave it at the default scan setting.
