followed the guides cant seem to sort it, i had the dish set up before with my 7025, but didnt use it for 4-5 months, bought a dm 8000 wanted to use the motorised set up, but once i checked it wasnt aligned, so i had a go at setting it up, but the stab h-h mount was making a clicking & whirring noise, wouldnt move dish so bought a new technomate h-h mount spent all day saturday & sunday trying to align it, best result i had was 62% on thor but everytime i moved dish to 28.2 E or 30W no signal, is the dm 8000 a bit buggy with software for motorised dish or has anyone got any pointers with what to try next i live in burnley east lans if anyone fancies a look thanks steve:nopity:

I have a dm800 but this might be useful.
I dont have a great signal on thor either so I aligned mine as best as I could.. then switched to 28.2 and fine tuned my dish on that satellite as that one is more important to me. After I did that, all satellites (of interest) came in fine.
