setup motorised satellite dish

[tomcat415]

my motor died on me over the weekend had it for over 7 years so getting new one but forgot how to setup on my Dm8000 will set it up next week so have time to learn again

am not sure what satellite that is near to me at 0. on my motor i have been to http://www.heavens-above.com/

to get my lat and long which is lon 052W and lat 53.2N and

Elevation: 32 meters (105 feet) i got a sat list from here http://satellites-xml.eu/ and one from here http://satellites-xml.org/
so am not sure if its "0.8W or 1.0W thats near to my 0. on my motor i have a 1.1 dish and dm8000 not clone and use pli image as this seems to be the best in helping with settings and got the plugin sat loader from http://feed.merlin3.info/index.php?dir= for the Dm8000 its http://feed.merlin3.info/index.php?dir=mips32el/&file=enigma2-plugin-extensions-satloader_3.999%2Bgit4412%2B9ec2b3e-r1_mips32el.ipk

not sure if i missed anything

You're off the coast of Newfoundland!

Assuming you're actually at 5W, if your pole is plumb then you could use USALS to set it up. Simples.
If the pole ain't plumb, you can use the sat at 5W and work from there (diseqc 1.2).

In that case then, yeah, use Thor at 1W. Otherwise, same as above.
