I don't have one of these but.....
First align your dish/motor to Hotbird (no idea why, but that's what I've read) - make sure it's spot on and all signals are the best you can get. Then input your long/lat (as you have done, yes it is as you had typed it), from then on in it should then find all the rest of the satellites. However also from what I've read (and this is on the TM5500D) Technomate have not allowed you to set the limits in the USALs menu, this means that the limits have to be set in the Diseqc 2 setup.
Wish I could help more, but I can't, the above is what I have read.

ask in technomate section how to input lat / long best bet there but every motorised setup i've set up always point dish to south true not magnetic then drive dish via receiver to 1 west thor most southern sat in midlands then as long as dish is set right all others will fall in line
ps there is a fine tuning dish in the stickys
GastonJ hotbirds is 13e not very good for setting up motorised withComment
