    If you are running Vix then the settings are much like any other Vix system.

    I think you need to select USALs and enter you lattitude and longitude correctly.

    I think I may also have horizontal turning speed 2.3; vertical turning speed 1.7; turning step size 0.36; Max memory positions 99

    I am not next to my receiver, so I can't tell you more at the moment. I do have an SF4008 driving a dish using the same settings as my Xtrend ET9000 had.

    If you right click your location on google maps and select 'Whats Here' you will see that the lattitude is abot 51 deg north
    (assuming your are in UK)

    If the logitude is positive select East, if it is negative select West
