52.3 and .62 if thats what its saying. I use multimap and enter postcode. Results give 2 sets of figures
for example
Lat: 51:35:05N (51.58472)
Lon: 1:47:31W (-1.79202)
You would enter 51.6 N 1.8 W

Hiya viper8

My brother lives near Billing in Northampton.
I set his box up to 52.3N & 0.8W.
All to the east of zero is positive and to the west is negative. So what I did was to subtract 0.8 from 360 and typed in 358.2.
Or type in 0.8, then right arrow to highlight "E", then press OK which will change it to "W". Then press "exit", all done.

just tried that and it did not like it

Sorry that did not work for you viper8.
Always used that on his TM1500 & it work that way on my TM 5200.
BTW should have said 360 - 0.8 = 359.2

You can keep these at 0.000 and 0.000 if you have no intent in going to the very far east and west satellites.
These numbers can thereafter be edited to fine tune the dish.
