On my STB, it does not show this information. There is a website that calculates the motor angle from your Lat. Long. and satellite position that I used to manually move my motor until I found out where I went wrong. Also, I could never find a place to set any limits.

When I first installed, I had 90 Lat. and 38 Long. instead of 38 Lat. and 90 Long. My motor, when trying for IA5 would move all the way to the 80 limit to the right and stop. I would have to manually move the motor to zero and do a reset. Then, if I would do a Move to Ref it would move all the way to the right 80 again.

Hope this helps.
