    dm800 motor setup

    HI i have a dm800 and have been trying to set it up with my motorized dish for a while. I have now set the tuner to simple --> positioner --> and entered my long and lat from Google maps. but when i tell it to set it to 13oE it moves the motor but seems to be not at 13o on the motor.

    Before setting the tuner to this i tried to set it using the advanced feature. i got it to move to 13o on the motor and then set the dish so that i had a full signal. but when i tried to set the next sat it just didn't move at all.

    Please help it driving me mad

            Its unique for all of use depending on where u stay but however ,, vary the longitude figure from :-2.17976 right through to 0.000 too the highest figure you will get the exact position in no time,,,

            I tried through them figure and luckly had an exact figure matching my house!!


            Good luck!!
