On my stb i put in 52.2 N for latitude
But for Longitude i have to put in 000.0 ?

-0.55
0.55W
359.45
something like that

 

[Robo44]

359.45 ?

 

[hairybadger]

359.45 ?

I thought maybe you were having trouble inserting negative numbers 0.55W = 359.45E

Oh i see what you mean ill try putting that in as I've just put 1.0W for the time being

 

[Robo44]

No it won't let me put that in either If i just put in 1.0W will it make a lot of difference ?

Why not 0.5 or 0.6 ?

I'll give it a go later.

Found this, it may help :

Spiderbox 9000HD Beginners Set-up Guide

Press the menu button.

Select the Installation section by scrolling right/left

Go to motor setup, press OK

Enter pin code "0000"

Press the green button to allow you to enter your longitude and latitude.

Longitude is switched between E & W by pressing the < and > buttons.

Enter your longitude by using the number keys. Note: if your Longitude is 1.5W (for example) you must enter 001.5W in this field.

Enter your latitude, e,g, 55.6N. You can change N to S with the arrow keys too, but most of you won't want to do that.

Scroll down to save and press OK.

(Therefore, in your case, I'd try entering 000.5W)
