    motorised dish problem

    any one help with this problem... dish and motor and pole all set up correctly ? and pointing due south.(motor set to zero) using a dm500hd reciever.
    have put my cordinates in the setup for usals... ok now when i tune to astra/hotbird 28.2e the dish moves east like it should do but stops on about 36 degrees east... i have to then inch the motor back 8 degrees to the west by using the manual movement button on the motor... any help with this would be appreciated .

      when i set mine up i
      1 pointed dish south (with motor set to zero)
      2 entered lat/long
      3 select thor 1w on dreambox (motor should move slightly)
      4 adjusted / tweaked for peak signal
      5 tighten up dish/motor , and all other sats fell into place

          have set mine up exactly as above but it is still over shooting the satellite by about 8 degrees... reads about 36 on the motor rather than 28

                  Is the pole 100% plumb ? Double check it, even if it's slightly out of plumb it will miss the arc and some sats.

                  THE TRUTH
                  The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
                  Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                  The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                              Just wondering mate. You did point it to true south and not magnetic south?
