any one help me my Latitude: 53.4609° Longitude: -2.7107° is this so what will i need to set to in my vu thanks
 
You only need to set it using those details if you have a motorised dish
Menu,setup,service searching,tuner configuration set it to simple,positioner, put the following in
lat 53.461 N
long 02.710 E
save and exit out then change channel

If you have a fixed dish on 28.2e do the following
Menu,setup,service searching,tuner configuration set it to ,simple,single satellite and choose 28.2e and save,
exit out of all menu's and change channel.

Longitude should be W and not E
 
if you are in the northern hemisphere a negative longitude is west and not east.
 
If you live in the UK then we are all in the northern hemisphere which would mean a - and as such W

lat 53.461 N
long 02.710 E

Are you close to 0 degrees fergal?
Maybe its not so important if you are very close to dead centre?
 
@ Fergalsworld, looks like your dish is out of alignment and changing west to east is compensating for it. What sats are you able to receive?

it was installed by a professional sat firm and i can receive all the usual ones ranging from 0.8W through to 42.0E I have never had any problems receiving any of the sats.

Did the professional firm set your longitude to East? Can you get any West sats such as 30 W or do you have obstructions? And what signal strength do you get on 42E for example?
