I got all the channels, 16 all together.
At this point i'm not able to change and lock on any other satellite. This is driving me nuts.
My Longitude is 80 and my latitude is 40.3
What am i doing wrong now?

I know people are probably getting tired of me suggesting this, but make sure you're setting the latitude side of the motor, and not the elevation. Your latitude side should be set on 41, and the elevation side on 49. If you did the reverse, you'd be 8 or 9 degrees high or there abouts, which might explain why your dish elevation was way off.
Darn, another interception. :-(
