                  i get that point to be NE of "Winterton-On-Sea" by 6 miles..
                  Which wouldnt be too bad if it wasnt in the Sea..

                      As Jackpot that will be in the West rather than East as it is a minus!

                                  .. no mate.. the difference between the two Lat & Longs is 146.8 miles


                                  Trouble is the lat and long given is in a field.. i presume the poster lives in one of the houses in the middle row of the 3 rows shown..



                                  Needs to narrow the Lat & Long down a bit more though..

                                              The longitude setting is for the receiver not the dish.

                                                      dish setting for lat 52.4 should be 22.5 for 30 degree motor pole as on most diseqc motors. hope this helps.
