[QUOTE="mhku, post: 582773, member: 190842"] Mode is just position, drive to zero and a few others. SATELLITE has the list of satellites. In laymen's terms you drive the motor back to zero so you have a fixed position. Then you change the MODE back to position, select the satellite from the list next to SATELLITE. Then you move the motor (dish) using the < > arrows (these move the dish east and west). When you get a lock on the satellite you chose, you store it's position and then go to the next menu screen and scan it. The Dreambox is very fussy about dish positioning - what works with another receiver doesn't with a Dreambox. I fine tune my elevation on 1W using a sat meter before finding positions and scanning - it makes a big difference. It is also not a quick/ easy thing to do first time. It took me two weeks to do the first time, mainly because what I thought was my 1W position was actually 5E (they use some of the same transponder numbers). [/QUOTE]
