Maybe this is important to tell that i'm using ProgDVB 5.08.03;
Where can i type my coordinates. My city is not in the list, just my capital city (Belgrade), and i think the program and the satellite also needs my coordinates. And the other question: i want to watch only free to air channels, what option do i have to change?

Hi , you only needs to know which satellite you want to receive and your dish pointed at...and then choose it in the diseqC menu
And the other question: i want to watch only free to air channels, what option do i have to change?
Buy Ci + Ca Module and a legal subscription
we DON'T talk software decryption issues here, AT ALL.

You may want to look for satellites, footprints and your local field strength, stations and all the other stuff at lyngsat.com
ProgDVB does not have to know your coordinates, name or shoe size..
The city list is only used for ProgFinder, a completely different software, that's only meant to help you on dish setup. And even then, your location would only be used to calculate azimuth and elevation, to find out, if that bird is above your horizon. But you can as well use lyngsat.com for this.
All DiSEqC parameters would anyway have to be made manually, just as a true image of your existing LNB / position switch set.
And neither ProgDVB nor ProgFinder could do the dish alignment for you, no electrical interface on all the screws...
Easiest way to get started with your first (or even a more complex) dish and LNB set would surely be, to borrow a preprogrammed receiver and a portable TV, perhaps plus some asssistance from a nice guy, who has already done this successfully.
And please take care, falling down the roof is not funny...
