Query re Positioner plug-in on Open Alliance images

    While I'm waiting for on a VIX build for my new GB Quad Plus I have been using OpenMIPS and OpenATV images. One UI behaviour of the Positioner plug-in on both images has me puzzled. On the remote you press the red and green buttons to move the motor west and the yellow and blue buttons to move the motor east. Now, in the northern hemisphere, satellites are located in an arc with the highest point due south. Eastern satellites are on the left and western satellites on the right. The Positioner plug-in uses the left buttons (red/green) to move the motor right (west) and right buttons to move east. I have no doubt that the VIX plug-in will be the same as it would be using the same base code, but maybe someone would confirm? To my mind it would seem logical to match the button use to the motor movement.
    The same happens in the list of satellites in the tuner set-up - right arrow to move to a more easterly satellite setting, left arrow to move west.
    Can anyone explain the logic behind this? Maybe I'm over-thinking it tongue.png
