How to set up DM500 S + moving C/KU-band dish

I bought recently a Dreambox 500 S. I have also a Manhattan 550, wich can move my 7.5 ft C/KU-band dish. With the Manhattan I receive all the reacheable sats and horizontal en vertical signals.

Now I try to set up the Dreambox with the same dish, but I can't figure out how to do it. The manual gives me no comprehensive directions how to set up this configuration. In the dish is a C-band LNB and a KU-band LNB mounted with a diseqC-switch 2 in 1 out. The Manhattan works perfectly with this configuration, so I don't need to doubt the hardware involved.

Every time I want to set up the Dreambox for "many satellites via DiseqC Rotor" it deletes my previous settings and I have to start from scratch again. I tried many different settings, but none worked for 100%. I don't know why there are so many settings. In the Manhattan I only set that I have a universal and a C-band LNB and that C-bandLNB=diseqc 1 and universal=diseqc 2.

I searched also the internet many times, but didn't find solutions for my configuration.

And now I start feeling desperate about getting it fixed in the end.

If you can help me with the required settings so I can use this dish and the two lnb's...? This would be more than nice!
