    hi,

    for me in south germany I set up my 100cm dish with USALS rotor on 1.0° W.....
    With this I get nearly all channels on that dish betwen 55W and 75E.

    What box are you using? the best setting are the new likra settings for the motor some channels will need amended in the list but this can easily be done using dbedit.Your due south satellite in exeter is 0.8w so with the motor at ZERO move the motor around the pole until you pull in thor 0.8w then check the arc..
