The DM500s doesn't support gotoXX. The long way is to use stored positions is described below.

Please note that your "drive to zero" satellite (1W in this example) will depend on where you are in the world.

Go to Menu > service searching > motor setup

Mode: drive to zero

and press go

Then change the mode to position and select 1W:

Satellite: 1W
Drive the motor to zero.

Mode: Position
Satellite: 1W

then use the < > arrows to move the dish until you get a lock. STORE the position (I use the same number as the satellite).

Then SEARCH.

Repeat for 13E, 19E, 28E, storing the position for each.

If you use gotoXX you shouldn't have to do it but I couldn't get it to work with my 7020 (and it doesn't work at all with a 500s).

Your screens and options may vary slightly depending on the Dreambox model and image that you have.


Extra info:

Mode is position, drive to zero and a few options.

SATELLITE has the list of satellites.

In simple terms you drive the motor back to zero so you have a fixed position.

Then you change the MODE back to position, select the satellite from the list next to SATELLITE.

Then you move the motor (dish) using the < > arrows (these move the dish east and west).

When you get a lock on the satellite you chose, you store it's position and then go to the next menu screen and scan it.

The Dreambox is very fussy about dish positioning - what works with another receiver doesn't with a Dreambox. I fine tune my elevation on 1W using a sat meter before finding positions and scanning - it makes a big difference.

It is also not a quick/ easy thing to do first time. It took me two weeks to do the first time, mainly because what I thought was my 1W position was actually 5E (they use some of the same transponder numbers).
