    I don't think you need to put manually, You have to choose single lnb in setup choose than in list of satellite choose correct satellite i.e Astra 2A, 2B, 2D and Eurobird (28.2*E). Hope it can be helpful.

      no would be my answer, most images you would just press blue button, scroll down to satellites and transponders, select then select satellite configuration, then select one single satellite, job done

        Lat and long are only required for USALS motorised installations. They are not required for a fixed dish :-)

              This is the proper Set up for you:

              Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Tuner > Configuration > Tuner A > Configuration Mode >

              Simple.

              Mode > Single

              Satellite > Astra 28 E

              Enjoy.

                I have included a Dish pointing software in the Forum yesterday to whom it may come in handy one day.

                      I always find it handy to keep a bookmark in my favorites of the Dreambox Wiki.
