You are probably better off running the LNB straight into the card, and using the Vbox as a manual positioner while you set it up so you can tweek easily.
Have you managed to work out the click to degree ratio yet ?.

And also - can you see the ProgDvb signal strength indicator while you move the dish face up and down when you have a signal ?

Not quite.
I was going to say tune to 11615H 27500 on 30W ( a weakish one) and peak on that, taking note of which way and roughly how much you are out by :). Then try to find 43W.

Cool :D
So you know it's the elevation of the motor now.
Drop the motor 1-2 degs and re peak the dish on 1W, then have another look.
Is the click count staying fairly linear throughout the arc ??
Next is CCTV on 45W then (phisical constraints in mind) 58W, although from memory the pictures of your motor give more W then E.
Grab the channels file from HERE and see if you get them

Yes you will.
Your motor is decribing too sharp an arc for your loc.
It's a case of dropping the motor and upping the dish in ever decreasing 50% steps of each if that makes sense.

Up to a point obviously.
2 or 3 iterations should do it.
