Please explain to me why pointing Dish to true south won't work on motorized dish?

I'm telling Rob
To point South
But at the same time get Q signal on a near by sat
What's wrong with that?
There are tons of Sats in the sky today
Finding closest Sat in true south is a new techinque I came up with

I always gurantee my methodes to work

note that i have installed 9 motorized until now.
first you select a satellite like 110W with strong signal before aim the dish and when position is end you power off the motor in motor menu.
Now you align your dish for get the best signal.
If your motor bracket is well adjust and your setting in Usals are right, it work every times.
Then you check on souther sattellite for best signal, then you check extreme east and west satellites for best signal you lift or raise the dish arm and do the adjustment for best signal on all satellites.

Very important: do a self positioning before trying to aim, because your motor should not be on the good position and will lose your time to aim it and hat your dish.
My best aiming is 1 hours without scanning but it will be 2 hours.
Voila

I totally understand yor way
That's called 2 point on the arc
It is a trail and error
Also keep in mind Circular don't require LNB tilt

But my question is
What's wrong by pointing dish to true south with a near by satellite?
Why wouldn't this work?

On a motorized dish as mine you set the skew on "0" and the dish turn and get the exact Skew.

On prealignment you get the best south azimut but when it's time to aim it, you can use the satellite you want, personnaly I use Nimiq 2(4 now) but it work on Nimiq 1 or 110W or 61.5W, try to aim it with a linear, the first time can be hard with a little 30", I have a 33" and the signal is not "top".
You must be positionned on a satellite with the LNB off, because the receiver try to found the signal(fine tuning),you move the antenna to position and put the motor OFF and put the LNB ON and you aim the dish: Azimut then Elevation.
You try other satellite....

I hope you undestand my point of view.

I do understand yor way I said
Yor true south is a pre-alignment

But what I'm saying
My true south is a full alignment

Why my full alignment won't work?
I'm saying
Yo do the "0" setup
But at the same time get the near by Linear sat

Yo told Rob
To listen to one person
So I'm trying to know
Why this won't work?
It appears to me that my way is much less work
With super precission

So just answer me
Will my way work? (Simple Yes or no)

I'm not upset
I just wanna know

If you try to aim as for the manual, you should lose many time to get all satellites from east to west.
I repeat you can't aim a motorized dish on all satellites with you teknic, you must aim it like a standard dish and fine tuning after.
THE RECEIVER TRACK THE BEST SIGNAL AND WILL NOT BE ON THE TRUE POSITON.

IN CLEAR IF YOU AIM YOUR DISH ON "0"(TRUE SOUTH) AND YOU ARE NOT PERFECTLY AIM THE RECEIVER CORRECT THE POSITION AND YOU WILL LOST SATELLITES IN EXTREME WEST OR EAST.

""So just answer me
Will my way work? (Simple Yes or no)""

If you are very very very lucky you will.

Play to lotery you will win too.

So in a simple answer yor saying
Capturing closest sat to true south
Yo have to be lucky to get all channels

My response is
Next time yo try it yorself
Just keep in mind closest sat to true south will be different for each state
But I bet yo
My way is easier 100:1
1-point and shoot
Guranteed

How you can say it then you don't have a motorized dish?
