load a boquet mate far easier and then the setup really begins ..........

[stew86]

hello just a check to see if i have enter the longitude and latitude right in my dm800 on multimap is say longitude -2.75915908813477 and latitude is 53.4503173828125 do i put in my dreambox longitude has 002.759 or 002.800 and latitude has 053.450 or 053.500 thanks dk

put the 002.759 and 053.450 this should be fine you only have to round of to the nearest decimals on boxes with less
decimal spaces.

You are 002.759 west & 053.450 north

yes i have load a boquet onto my box two of the satellite are not coming on 16E and 26.0E

your dish may be slightley out most likely your bracket not dead plumb you can offset this by adjusting your lattitude try adding .200 at a time untill your signal bar rises to its peak
so if your lat is 52.450 try 52 .650 and so on till you get it right, these sats that you are missing especially 26e have weak signals but 16e you should get on a 80cm+ dish

hello i 1m dish with a motor does anyone hve a list of satellites i should get in the northwest area so i can do a manual scan on the satellite to see if my dish is setup right

[nathan2007]

well mate theres no definitir list it depends on install and things like that 26e is a hard sat to getu should get 16e tho buddy

[stew86]

i am getting 16E should i be able to get 39E

[ramjet]

i am getting 16E should i be able to get 39E

yes you will providing there are no obstructions in the way

[nathan2007]

i can get 42e (turksat) so try that also mate

[stew86]

there is no obstructions in the what i can see

[ramjet]

well you should get from about 42e to 30w , although some like 26e and 7w will be more troublesome as they are for the middle east and not the uk

usually with those you get some but definitely not all

42e and 39e are ok as long as the motor and dish are setup correctly , fairly strong signals in the uk , as is some of 5e too

30w , 15w , 12.5w , 5w , 0.8w , 7e , 13e , 16e , 19e , 23.5e , 28e , 39e , and 42e are the usual suspects

try this list of TPS you should get most of the sats in the list.
PS;leave your latitude set to your location lat which should be the same as set on your motor.you cant offset an out of plumb mounting pole the only cure for that is to correct it.
