[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1077554, member: 187442"] You usually try to align your dish to a satellite nearest to your True South, which is your Longitude reading, for your location, Spain is listed around -3.75 Longitude, which equates to 3.75 degrees West, negative Longitude = West, positive = East. USAL driven motors allow you to compensate, by having your receiver calculate your position, from your Latitude, and Longitude, then move the motor/dish to a satellite you wish to manually align to. With other motors, used for larger dishes, you tend to have to guestimate, and aligning to a satellite, as close as possible, to your true south, can help. Try using an app, or an internet site, like dishpointer.com, to get more accurate Latitude, and Longitude, readings. [/QUOTE]
