    Unable To Stabilise Sat Lock On Dreambox.

    Since repositioning my dish to pick up 39* East I'm having major problems locking onto a satellite. On USALS, after entering my Long/Lat, the dish generally goes to the East limit. When I manually allocate a position in the Tuner config and manually source then on exit the dish drives past the signal.
    When I manually step the motor from the pole mount I can get a 100% signal on BBC1 at 28* East, but I'm unable to save and store this on my DM 800 Clone and on switch to another satellite provider the whole problem comes back.
    Been on and off this problem for some weeks now and probably missing something obvious. Any ideas and help much appreciated.

    Best wishes from,

    Gibson.

    this is because you Longitude and Latitude are incorrect
    use google hearth to pin point your position then you have to tickle the number a bit till you get the right position

      Thanks for the fast response cdr. I must admit the Longitude -0.03593 West has posed a problem in so much as I'm not too sure how that would be entered in the 000.000 config box, but saying that I have tried a number of options. Do you know the correct definition?

      Best wishes from,
