[QUOTE="aceb, post: 836455, member: 268811"] I'd be tempted to set the mount in the centre of its travel due south then perform a reset on the box to remove any limits. When the dish doesn't move do you get any error messages on the V-box like E-2? Forget all about dish settings on your STB until the dish is tracking correctly. Better to get a pen and paper to write down the controller numerical value for each satellite while you are getting it aligned. The basic theory of setting up any polar mount is the same, set the mount square, rotate to your due south, set the main dish angle then set the declination angle. This is where a good spirit level app on a Smart phone saves a bit of time! I'm not familiar with the CM dishes but from what I can tell from the photo this image should be correct for your lat/long.
