Set the motor to your latitude (make sure you use the correct scale - NOT the elevation scale) and then adjust the elevation on the dish. You shouldn't need to to touch the motor scale except for the final fine-tuning.
So basically I'm 54.7N so that's what I set on the motor and I need to work out my elevation to work out what I set the dish to? Using dishpointer it says 27.5 for Thor but obviously this changes depending on satellite, do I just set it to that and the motor does the rest? It also says the azimuth magnetic is 178. Should I set the motor to 1W and then point dish to 178 using a compass and meter to find it? I'm trying a few guides but I must get easily confused...
EDIT: further reading it looks like 5W Eutelsat is my best bet as I'm 5.7W
