motorised dish help

hi dudes

just setup my motorised dish as per all the instructions and using usal, i instructed my technomate to goto hotbird 13E by entering my longtitude and latidute positions. I then fine tuned it using a sat signal meter by tilting the dish up and down, plus left and right,and scanned all the channels. Ive tried going to other satellites but cannot get it to tune into anything else. Ive just been to lynsat and realised that i have actually tuned into astra 28.2E and not hotbird as first thought.

So according to my motorised dish arm i am pointing to 13E but am actually pointing to 28.2E. Any suggestions as to what i should tweak first as this is doin my head in !!

cheers

hi,
factory re-set the receiver and start the set up
reset the motor to zero manualy turn the motor and dish to 1w thor
and then reset the dish and get that sat tuned in and work from there
have a look at this pdf set up guide.
