Official Introduction of Dreambox 800 HD PVR

are you using a motorised setup ?
If your using DiSEqC 1.2 you will have to set-up the dish positions manually. If your usuing USALS it should be automatic.
Here's the USALS procedure from memory (someone please jump in and correct me if I've made any mistakes)
First make sure the dish is correctly aligned on a satellite, eg THOR 1W
Press Menu -> Set Up -> Service Searching -> Tuner Configuration
Choose Tuner
ALPS BSBE2 (DVB-S2) - Press OK
Configuration Mode: Advanced
Satellite : THOR 1W
Voltage Mode: Polarization
Tone Mode: band
LNB : LNB 1
DiSEqC Mode: 1.2
Use USALS for this Sat: Yes
Longitude: Set this to the correct Longitude for your area.
To find the correct longitude settings for your area go to the following website
Worldwide map search, route finder and travel directions - powered by Multimap
In the "Find a Map" box at the top left of the page, enter your post code.
Select your country in the drop down box below it and click on the "Find" button.
This will display a map on the screen and below the map at the bottom right you
will see your Latitude information, example below for Post Code NW1 UK :-
Lat: 51:31:59N (51.53319)
Lon: 0:08:40W (-0.1445)
you may have to miss last digit
So in this example in the Dreambox menu you'd set
Longitude: 0.1445
West
latitude: 51.53319
north
