My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

There is no ideally about it, your dish arc must be highest at 5W (or whatever your actual longitude is), anything other than that and you will not get a full range of satellites.

You set the motor on zero, add your coordinates to the Dreambox, send it to 19.2 East and then find 19.2 East and save it. Not ideal, as it is difficult to get the arc correct when aligning on an offset position, but should then work.
