tuner setup help

Hi guys my mates dad has a motorised dish and hes used it for years with a technomate box which has died on him. I have an amiko alien 8900 which im just giving him and im setting it up for him but ive never setup a motorised dish before. in tuner configuration I take it I chose positioner(selecting satellites) I have vix image on box. What do I put in longitude and latitude and do I select extra motor options ?

Thanks

Set it up like this

Positioner
Simple

Add you coordinates, you can find them from the post code here

Satellite Finder / Dish Alignment Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com

Put your post code in top box and hit enter.

I had an HtoH mounted dish for years I found usals wouldn't work with it so I had to replace the motor to make modern sat box able to operate the dish hopefully your m8s dads will be ok but just bear it in mind if u cant make it work that may be the problem

forget about the '7' and for your Longitude if its 6 characters then enter 003.030 dont worry about the - 'Minus'

The minus figure is a west value.
