Edision 2100

Hi does anyone have an Edision 2100 FTA receiver? I am having some problems to set it up..

Basically after mounting everything, (pole vertical, dish aligned with rotator arm, angles etc.) I chose astra from the receiver menu on usals (having inputed lat long) and moved the whole thing around to get astra. however when i try to move to hotbird it is way far off and no amount of east-west movement from the receiver (using diseqc 1.2 commands) will get me hotbird...

I have a Superjack jaeger DG-120 motor with a 120cm dish.

Now I am going to try to mount rotate everything in line with the sun at transit tomorrow.. so as to align with true south.

regards

That will only help if 1deg West is your true south satellite but since your profile indicates simply mt for your location who can say?
