Do a google search... It will tell you..... There is also a handy thing on UKCVs website - (i seem to recall)
With either of them you put your postcode in and it will give you it.
Lat - Long Finder: This page helps you find Latitude and Longitude
Hope I have done the link right.

Ive always used this put your full address in including house number, Andy. Satellite Finder / Dish Alignment Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com

Latitude: 52.2666?
Longitude: -1.5330? how do i enter it the box cheers lee
copy and paste from a solo2 tutorial below
Setup Motorised Dish using USALS
First get your longitude & latitude info from _http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm
Enter your post code into satsig.net and you'll get the correct LON & LAT info for your location.
Example if I enter the following UK postal code: SE1 6JZ into _http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm
I get the following LON & LAT:
Longitude: -0.1042?
WEST
Latitude: 51.4979?
NORTH
If your longitude is a negative number i.e. it has a "-" sign before the number then you have to subtract that number from 360.
360 - 0.104 = 359.896
So you'd enter 359.896 in your Longitude Settings.
Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK
Select Service searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK
Configure Tuner for Motorised Dish using USALS.
Use the < > buttons on remote to select Simple.
Use the down button to select mode and use the < > buttons to set to Positioner.
Configuration Mode: Simple
Mode: Positioner
Longitude: 359.896 (Make sure you enter your own Longitude settings here)
WEST
Latitude: 51.497 (Make sure you enter your own Latitude settings here)
NORTH
Press OK to save.
Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK
Select service searching Press OK
Select Positioner Setup Press OK
Select goto 0 Press RED Button
Dish should now goto 1w.
from that site the following is shown for leamington spa
Latitude = 52.2852, Longitude = -1.5201
Lat = 52 degrees, 17.1 minutes North
Long = 1 degrees, 31.2 minutes West

what is the best sat to do first so they should all full in line cheers lee
if your dish and motor are all correctly installed then it doesnt matter which you use, although you are best to start with 1 west which is due south of you
if you install an up to date E2 list like the catseye one you wont have to scan anything in
check the VU forum here for more details on your solo
