Hi pace508
If you are using a 36volt motor you don`t use latitude just move the dish with the DreamBox and the vbox, then store it, then use the stored position in the DreamBox setup.

yes, but from time to time you will need to see the readout on the front of it.

if you want to add a new satellite position its possible to calculate roughly were it should be using the settings you already have i.e 1deg of dish movement = 10rpm of the motor.
