    If your using DiSEqC 1.2 you will have to set-up the dish positions manually. If your using USALS it should be automatic.

    Here's the USALS procedure that I used.
    First make sure the dish is correctly aligned on a satellite, eg Astra 28.2E

    Press Menu
    Set Up
    goto
    Service Searching



    Tuner Configuration



    Choose Tuner ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) - Press OK



    Now for my configuration***8230;***8230;..



    Configuration Mode: Advanced
    Satellite : Astra 2A/2B/2D/Eurobird 1 (28.2e)
    Change LNB to LNB 1
    Priority : Auto
    LOF: Universal LNB
    Voltage Mode: Polarization
    Increased voltage: yes
    Tone Mode: band
    DiSEqC Mode: 1.2
    Toneburst: None
    Committed DiSEqC: None
    Fast DiSEqC : no
    Sequence repeat : no
    Command order : committed toneburst
    Uncomitted DiSEqC command : None
    DiSEqC repeats : none

    Longitude: Set this to the correct Longitude for your area.
    To find the correct longitude settings for your area go to the following website
    Bing Maps - driving and transit directions, routes, traffic conditions
    In the "Find a Map" box at the top left of the page, enter your post code.
    Select your country in the drop down box below it and click on the "Find" button.
    This will display a map on the screen and below the map at the bottom right you
    will see your Latitude information, example below for Postcode district:NE39 1
    Lat:54:55:09N (54.91913)
    Lon:1:44:55W (-1.74859)
    So in this example in the Dreambox menu you'd set
    Longitude: 001.748
    West
    Latitude : 54:550
    North
    Use USALS for this Sat: Yes
    PRESS OK TO SAVE
    Once this is set up on one satellite its easy to sort the rest.
    Go back into reception settings
    Highlight satellite and choose the satellite you want
    The example here shows Hellas on 39.0E




    Now select LNB and right to LNB 1



    This will fill in the configuration with your previously set configuration
    PRESS OK TO SAVE
    then scroll back up to satellite
    scroll left or right to another satellite
    goto lnb scroll right this will automatically set that satellite up
    keep repeating this on all satellites needed
    Thanks ...............

    Default GUIDE TO MOTORISED DISH SETUP DM800

    Thank you very much indeed for the info Westkill

    Before everything, sorry for my poor English!

    Recently I replaced my old Humax5400 receiver with DM800 hd

    My Dish is motorized, I mean in case I'm watching NileSat (7 deg W) position (say 1),
    and want to watch some channels from Amos satellite
    I move the Dish using an actuator and separate positioner (SuperJack EZ Track II)
    where every satellite has it's programmed position. (say 2)

    My dish size 1.8 m, it has one (single) LNB which is connected directly to the receiver.

    My Dish, It hasn't DiSEqC motor.

    I found the difference in using Humax and DreamBox is very wide in everything.

    My new DreamBox 800 furnished already with software Gemini Project 2

    Available programmed satellites are:
    Atlantic Bird / NileSat 7 deg W,
    Hotbird 13 deg E,
    Astra 19. deg E
    and ArabSat 26 deg E

    My Dreambox 800 not programmed for other satellites such as Amos, Sirius,..etc.

    I understand that your above mentioned explanation will help me too much.
    But I'm hesitated to do any change without consulting You!

    Your help will be too much appreciated.

    Please do one example for me such as;
    how to add Amos satellite (4 deg W) for example ch2 and ch10.

    Thanks in advance

    can I use your procedure without mention Latitude and Longitude?

    Default Multi Sat Configuration

    Hi there
    I would be glad if someone could help me with the multi sat configuration for my Dreambox DM800. I followed the step by step but I'm geting confused on the latitude/longitude part. Since multimap is now bing maps is not showing the lat/lon as described so the results that I've got from my postcode are:


    51.3179580867291 -0.578015372157097

    What are the numbers that I need to input on the dreambox? And is North/South - East/West???

    I know the dish works as I have a technomate 5400 and it works fine but I wanted an HD one so i bought the dreambox.

    But now all i've got from the dreambox is Tune failed. I tworked once when I selected 28.2 Astra (this was the satellite that the dish was pointing to when I was last using the technomate) but I tried to move to other satellites and all I've got is the Tune Failed message and now even the 28.2 Astra is giving me this message. It must be the lat/lon is wrong.
    Those are the coordinates that I put on the box:

    Longitude: 000.578 West
    Latitude: 051.317 North

    What am I doing wrong??

    Thanks for the help!

    With Usals all you need to do is choose tuner as simple.
    Mode=positioner and put in correct long and lat.
    Install a solid set of bouquets like Sgtflipflops or Catseyes and the dish should move when you press a channel from any sat.
    Check the picture below.

    if you don't have chanelles of course you have to scan otherwise you don't have to, just store a position.
