My dish setup

Yep you will need to add a motor channel list bud, then you can edit out the one's you don't use with a editor like Dreamset.

Have a read of these tutorials.... Tuner Support Tutorials and decide then which one best suits your needs.

Best advice I can give you is first, have a lot of patience.... this can take a lot of tweaking to get right, even harder if you don't have the use of a sat meter. Add your long & lat to the tuner setup.

Drive the motor to zero if not already there. When the motor is in this position then you need to start tweaking the dish so that you are picking up Thor 0.8 W, try to get the best signal you can on this. This will involve very small movements of the dish left & right and changing the elevation of the dish up & down, do not change the elevation of the dish where the motor bracket is bolted to the pole, once you have set your Latitude on the side of the motor bracket leave it.

Oh and one last thing.... if the pole your motor bracket is bolted too is not sitting plumb, this will make it nearly impossible.

Good Luck!

you just need to input long and latitude for your location into the dm800,
Then install catseye setting and choose thor + BBc worldnews ! Now line the dish up to thor and check if you get picture ! Peak signal and tighten up.
Now try a astra 2 channel and if you did it right bingo your on !
Small movements and half increment spanner turns = Patience mate and you'll get there !

Thor is 1 degree right of south !

To input your long & lat bud it should look like this where you are:

Long 003.0284 (west)

Lat 053.7958 (north)

In some images you can access the webinfo on ya iphone and check the signal strength, check it while your up the ladder.

You will need to scan that sat for channels and every other one as well.

No harm in scanning that one and see.

going off a dish pointer this is my long and lat
LAT 53.7958
long -3.0284

try moving dish to another strong sat say 13e? & tweek your longitude setting starting off with say 000.000
see what signal % it gives & go from there moving dish about

check you cable from lnb to motor as i done one one a few weeks ago which was all set up but the tuner failed over night.Turned out to be the cable end so just cut it further down and been great since.
