I have a Manhattan Receiver Plaza XT-CM with a disecq motorised dish.

When I change channels from hotbird to Astra 1 @ 19.2 everything works OK

When I go from Astra 1 to Astra 2 it falls short of the satellite and I have to adjust manually by using the “POS” key and move the dish a short distance from west to east.

Has anyone got any ideas about what is wrong with my set up ?

It would appear,its not tracking the arc properly.
The experts will come along with practical advice.

Have you entered your correct longitude and latitude correctly in the set up? as i think this has to be spot on for it to work correctly.

You have'nt stored the position of 28E correctly.You need to adjust its position and re- store it.

Your lat and longs are only used for USALS
