The satellite positions are stored in Enigma registry file, if you perform upgrade do not simply copy the file over as it will disregard registry upgrades between the versions.
I am not sure on 500, but 7000 has all preset satellites on one line in the registry file and it is tricky to save them after editing the file.
You need to open motor config, create one dummy entry and save it. Then edit the line in question, save the file and - that was the only way it worked for me- crash the dreambox, i.e. pull the power cord. Anytime I did proper shutdown the file got overwritten with default values but this is likely to be image specific.
Still better than thumb exercize I hated entering 30 satellite positions every time a new image was out.
