I would suggest to turn off the speed/cadence sensor if you want to keep getting calorie counts. I can't guarantee that numbers it reports will be any closer to reality.
I guess this is the key - estimating calories using the sensor is fairly pointless because my trainer is nothing like being on the road.

I just used a couple of generic calorie calculators off the internet - I tried a few they all seem to use the same formula as they came out the same.
