Ok, like cazuela wrote, when you enter in sat setup you should use xx.xxx north and x.xxx west.

Also probably best to edit the post and remove the real numbers for privacy/security...

while in dishpointer ,,
set it up as in nearest location of dish,
then in the sat options go to -> 28.2º astra and the animation should show position dish should be..

Position is cleared, thanks bud

Exactly jensen mate or as is described in many tutorials "they are plumb" if as jensen says you may have your cordinates wrong then this could explain why you are having issues also if you are in south Wales im pretty sure your refference sat will be 5 west this is the sat nearest to true south for you below is a table i use

London & South East England=Thor 5 & 6 @ 0.8 west or Intelsat 10-02 @ 1 west
West Country & Wales=Atlanticbird-3 @ 5 west,
Liverpool & North West=Atlanticbird-3 @ 5 west ,Intelsat 10-02 @ 1 west or Thor,
Midlands & North West England=Intelsat 10-02 @ 1 west or Thor,
Scotland =Atlanticbird-3 @ 5 west, Intelsat 10-02 @ 1 west or Thor,
Outer Hebrides = Atlanticbird-3 @ 5west or Atlanticdird-2 @ 8 west,
South West Ireland = Atlanticbird-1 @ 12.5 west,
Central Ireland=Atlanticbird-2 @ 8 west,
Dublin & Belfast Atlanticbird-3 @ 5 west,
Le Harve North West France=1 west either Thor or Intelsat,
Belgium & Netherlands=Sirius-4 @ 4.8 east or Eutelsat W3A @ 7east
West France =Atlanticbird-3 @ 5 west
Paris & Central France=Sirius-4 @ 4.8 east or Thor @ 0.8 west
Lyon Marseilles & East France= Eutelsat W3A @ 7 east

deffo sounds like loose connections/ dodgy LNB / moving dish /bad connection between tuner and motherboard/
If you could ,,maybe you have another LNB lying around or borrow a mate´s..
Try another STB /box to set up..
looking back at your first original post :

Not using USALS not sure if pole is bang on .

This could very well be your problem....
FTP this IPK over to the box and let us know if any difference:

I really hope you get it sorted mate it may be a issue though without you been able to set up your reference sat (nearest true south)which i believe for you is 5 west --my advice would be to set up each sat individually that you plan to locate and hope it tracs the arc or the restricted arc in your case but it does seem you are making progress

How old is the box bud??
is it an original?
the bad side if it´s the tuner which is not plug n play on the solo2 so maybe consider returning it to seller..
or if you're handy with electronics ,check the pins of the tuner to the board..

Can you not borrow a reciever friend i think i suggested this earlier it can rule out a lot of possibilities for instance water ingress can give sudden signal drop but in your case i tend to think like cazuela your tuner is failing but a spare reciever would rule out other thing things

Although it is possible, I highly doubt the box or LNB is at fault. It is possible (and very likely) that you are tweaking the dish to align to one sat, but the motor is not in the correct alignment for ALL sats. The tweaks are just making another alignment error to compensate for the motor alignment problem. (Sometimes two wrongs can make a right...) That is why it is important to try a sat as close to due south as possible. I also think you should use USALS - at least to get the initial alignment done.

Then why is it when i get SNR 84% AG84% on hotbird and watch for few hours in evening all is fine switch box to standby and switch back on the morning no signal and not touched the dish.

Even the if the dish had moved slightly the signal should not go from 84% to zero on all channels.

After a box was in standby, it cannot know what has happened while it was off. So, before it tunes, it sends motor commands to make sure the motor is in the correct position.

Another thing to check, when you loose only some channels, is there a consistency as to their H/V or hi/lo freq values? i.e. do you loose all horizontal channels? If you see a pattern, it can help narrow done possible problems.

another experience: if you , at any time while the box was on, disconnected any part of the connection between LNB/motor/tuner hten it will look as a fault.
The usual tell tale sign is if the dish icon on the screen flickers non stop( meaning it hasnt found the sat).
Have you got a single or double cable coming from LNB occupying both tuners?

Sounds like we´re all coming to the same conclusion,,, walled-pole not plumb, motor not setup correctly and/or tuner set up not correctly..
