havin som e issues setting up- its my first time out on satelite.
here is how far ive gotten.

i have the pole mount bracket on the wall dead plumb with motor attached and dish attached to motor and lnb in place.(dark motor)

i have a sat finder too but from reading the sat finders instructions it says nothing about set up on a motorised dish.... !
if i connect dm800s box to rec on motor should i be connecting the sat finder between 2 jump cables goint to lnb and and lnb connection point on the motor ? or some other way ?
ive done this bit an the dish the motor is now working and the sat finder is buzzing ! horray

is it a necessity to have a internet connection goin to dreambox at this stage ?- ive a couple of j45 connectors to crimp onto some cat5 cable, must i do this first and connect to dreambox ?

i checked my latitude for my location on google maps im getting 54 degrees approx
my motor (dark motor) has latiude ONLY marked on it- so if i set it to 54 and ive checked table in motor instructions which tells me to set dish bracket angle to 27.4

i have the dish positioned south on a compass with motor a 0 degrees.
do i need to point at true south- dublin 176 degrees ?

any help would be fab
