Pace DS810XE limited number of sattelites? Can I get other satellites?

I just bought the Pace HD box, as it seemed a good deal now that the price has dropped to about £150, and I'm planning on installing a motorised dish this weekend. As I haven't yet installed the dish I can't test the box, however I did turn it on to make sure it was working and all. It comes straight to a setup screen and tells you to selsct your satallite, however there are only a few satellites to choose from. Does this means that these are the only satellites available? I mean one of the main reasons I'm installing a satellite system on the first place is because I want to recive Arabsat, but none of the Arabsats are on the list. Once installed will I be able to get this and other satellites? If not I need to return the box ASAP and buy another reciever.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not clear on how you'll control the motor. This receiver uses DiSEqC 1.2 to control an LNB switch. Can that be used to control a DiSEqC motor instead? There's no mention of it in the specification. What does your User Manual say?

Yes it can be used to control a DiSEqC motor, there is an option for this in the setup menu. It allows you to choose the method of connection (Single LNB, Dual LNB, DiSEqC switch, DiSEqC motor etc.) and then it asks you to choose your satellite/s , however the list to choose from only contains about 10 satellites.
