Do a google search... It will tell you..... There is also a handy thing on UKCVs website - (i seem to recall)

With either of them you put your postcode in and it will give you it.

Lat - Long Finder: This page helps you find Latitude and Longitude

Hope I have done the link right.

Latitude: 52.2666?

copy and paste from a solo2 tutorial below

Setup Motorised Dish using USALS
First get your longitude & latitude info from _http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm

Enter your post code into satsig.net and you'll get the correct LON & LAT info for your location.

Example if I enter the following UK postal code: SE1 6JZ into _http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm

I get the following LON & LAT:
Longitude: -0.1042?
WEST
Latitude: 51.4979?
NORTH

If your longitude is a negative number i.e. it has a "-" sign before the number then you have to subtract that number from 360.

360 - 0.104 = 359.896

So you'd enter 359.896 in your Longitude Settings.

Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK

Select Service searching Press OK

Select Tuner configuration Press OK

Select Tuner A Press OK


Configure Tuner for Motorised Dish using USALS.

Use the < > buttons on remote to select Simple.
Use the down button to select mode and use the < > buttons to set to Positioner.

Configuration Mode: Simple
Mode: Positioner
Longitude: 359.896 (Make sure you enter your own Longitude settings here)
WEST
Latitude: 51.497 (Make sure you enter your own Latitude settings here)
NORTH

Press OK to save.

Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK
Select service searching Press OK
Select Positioner Setup Press OK
Select goto 0 Press RED Button

Dish should now goto 1w.

from that site the following is shown for leamington spa

Latitude = 52.2852, Longitude = -1.5201
Lat = 52 degrees, 17.1 minutes North
Long = 1 degrees, 31.2 minutes West

if your dish and motor are all correctly installed then it doesnt matter which you use, although you are best to start with 1 west which is due south of you

if you install an up to date E2 list like the catseye one you wont have to scan anything in

check the VU forum here for more details on your solo
