Got a used Bigsat SG2100BS(i think its the same as a moteck) and i just cant configure it at all. I've put in the right elevation and inclination angles and can't get anything but Astra 19.2E. My receiver is a a Vu+Solo, i've also edited the latitude and longitude coordinates into the receiver.I just don't understand what im doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's a few pics of my setup.

Whats the usals setting? Where are you located?
Is that pole straight, or as ferret says you have no hope.
Usals can be used to set up on any sat, but everything needs to be plumb to start with.
Those elevation figures are just a guide.
Try set up on bbc world 1 west and see what you get on there.

Could see from the picture it looked off straight, sort that first and then refer to the other points manic01 mentioned.

You're latitude should be set to North, eg: google - long lat Celje = 46.2397° N, 15.2677° E
