Elevation ok but i couldn't figure it out, it says to have the elevation on the dish at 30 degrees and the elevation on the motor according to your latitude (here is my position latitude 42.0670N,longitude 12.7670E) so i adjusted the elevation on the motor to 42 and the dish to 30 but still nothing getting very frustated with this i found the section on go to x So i put in my lat and long into the receiver and tried for the differents sats still nothing, I eventually managed to get 28.2 and tried working around that then i got 28.5 then 19.2 then 13E but that's my lot nothing else, can anyone help me with this.
