    Can I not tweak it from the box, Because I Don't see how the problem has been caused, I go to positioner setup in dreambox and I am able to tweak west and east and get a SNR. ?

      I'm gonna do a factory reset on the box, Set up the Tuner again and then tell you guys how I get on !

                        I would send it to 1W Thor BBC World Service and check if you are still getting a picture. If you are not getting any picture then everything else will be out of alignment.

                          Just a note on Latitude: 53.4298 north
                          Longitude: 2.9662 west

                          on dreamboxes 800hd you must start with 360 on the longitude then deduct 2.9662 = 357.033 enter this in your longitude.
                          hope this helps.

                            Thanks for the long lat help, and im not picking out up on 1 west, You think its best to hook say a technomate up and manualy keep moving dish till correctly aligned with 1W then hook it back upto dreambox and scan in 1W followed by others. ?
