Providing you are in a town beginning with B in Lincolnshire and assuming that the 800 uses the same as the 8000 you need to put 000.371 West as the Longitude (its rounded up to 371 from 3708 as it only uses 3 decimal places) and the -ve sign means it is west. Latitude is 052.772 North (again rounded up from 7719 to 772 as it only uses 3 decimal places).The Longitude usually defaults as east so make sure you change it to West or you will never get your dish set up correctly.
