    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.

    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

    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
