Usals is way easier,all you need is your Longitude,Latitude in Simple Positioner mode add Sgtflipflops latests bouquets and away you go.
I didnt even scan all worked fine.

USALS is by far the best way to go go although a lot of dm500s dont work with USALS, requiring you to manually search for the satellites

my fear is I do something stupid and can't find how to reverse it do you just hit reset defaults or go back a step at a time:scarf2:

Go on dishpointer and put in your full address it will give you your correct Long and Lat.
Make sure they are correct and ftp the latest set of bouquets and you will be fine.

Like 1 of the previous posters said, go to dishpointer website and get ur long/lat and put those into the settings. U will also need to adjust the satellite on the bracket. And i hope uv got that pole plumb!!! :scarf2:
