I am having a problem setting up my DM800 motorised dish.

I am trying to setup the following Sats:=

28.2E 19.2E 16.0E 13E 4.8E 01W

I have been able to setup everything except 19.2 and 4.8

When i go into the tune menu it will lock on for a few secs then it looses the sat for both these. I was wondering if it was something in the tuner menu becaus I noticed that the logitude was set to 005.100 and the lattitude was set to 050.767.

I have looked up my long and lattitude but get these settings:-

Your LocationSatellite DataDish Setup DataLatitude: 53.4987°
Longitude: -2.6366°


How do I enter a -ve longitude/

I have followed the guide "Setting up a DM800 non usals"

Any help or advice would be welcome.

Thanks
 
If you are not using USALS you don't need to enter your long and lat.

If you are, then negative is west.

With non usals you must move the dish round the arc sat by sat and store the positions on the motor yourself.

With usals, you just need to enter long and lat.
