[QUOTE="apogee2010, post: 94488, member: 178860"] You seem to be having difficulty understanding what true south means. If your longtitude is 9.7W it follows that when you are looking directly southwards, you will be looking towards the satellite located at 9.7W on the Clarke Belt. But there is no satellite located at that exact position - the nearest to it is Atlantic Bird at 8W. So this means that when you or your dish are facing (almost) true south, you will be facing Atlantic Bird and you should be able to receive that satellite on your receiver. If you come at this from the opposite direction, then you can take Atlantic Bird as being your point for finding true south and thus aligning your dish and motor correctly. Are you sure the comag doesn't have 8W in its database? It might be listed as Telecom 2D? If not, you'll have to set up a new satellite manually and enter the transponder details via the remote.
