    Goto Menu, Setup > Service Searching > Manual scan, then set as follows: - (use left, right buttons to change the fields)

    Tuner = Tuner where motor dish is connected to.
    Type of Scan = Single Satellite
    System = DVB-S
    Satellite = Hotbird 13deg

    Leave others as default but change network scan to yes.

    There are many ways your dish could be out.
    I'm no expert, but I would say the best way to start alignment is to start at Thor 1w.
    This is the top of your arc, and closest to zero, well it is for me.
    If mount is 100% plumb, and both dish and motor are at correct settings, once you tune 1w, all other sats fall into place.
    If you can only pull in 13e, and east or west detects no other sats, then you must re align your dish.
