dish alignment

[bri31]

hi all i've got a dm800hd whith a 1m motorised dish and when i set up usals and go to find astra28.2 i get a 99% alignment
and no signal so when i search for channels i get tune failed but if i go to find arabsat 30.5 using usals i get 99% alignment
and 92% signal i then search 28.2 even though the usals says its
on30.5 and i get all the channels on astra28.2 so am i right in thinking my dish is out by about 2 deg if so could i move the dish manualy 2 deg and reset the dish to get it aligned for use whith usals
thanx bri31

Welcome, doesn't sound like your tracking.

Send the motor to reference/zero first then add coordinates.

As per the setup guides, you need to drive the dish to 1°W [for your location] after adding details into USALs, then align for this bird.

If using USALs you don't save positions. Menu, setup, s/searching, tuner config, simple, mode positioner and add location. Do this after calibrating the motor. Image dependent.
