    Motorised dish problems

    OK first things first i am using an openbox s10/with a 98cm motorised dish.
    I set my dish up great last week all running great using usals i was getting 28.2 fine and 0.8 west ok as well as a few others.I downloaded a bouquet from here for 28.2 reset box to factory settings and uploaded new bouquet set up my long/lat again and set all satellites to usals.Now i can get 28.2 ok but i cant get all the other sat's i just tried getting 4.8 e and looking at the channels and what lynsat is telling me i have got the wrong satellite completely(looks like 26e).Will i have to line up my dish again.(Like an idiot i didnt mark true south).
    I hope this makes sense fingers crossed its an easy fix cos its chucking it down and will have to wait till weekend if dish need realigning.Thanks

    changing a bouquet list cant make your dish need realigning. firstly send your motor to zero then do a factory reset and re-enter your lat/long again to see if it solves it. regards mdt

        On the motor there should buttons east and west. Or try resetting through receiver

          push east and west buttons in together at the same time for five seconds resets dish to zero on most motors

            There should be a small reset button on the motor which will send it back to 0..

                Quick update guy's.Thanks for all the replies .
                I went to antenae set up and motor options i sent motor to reference point it just stayed on screen for about 10 mins in the end i just hit stop.All seems ok now though so ithink it was just a case of resending the motor to zero.I will get the ladders out later on and just double check everything.Again thanks for replies everyone
