My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

What sized dish are you using?

You should be able to pick up all of the channels with a 60cm dish, but you need to align the dish very accurately, most newbies also point the dish too high, your dish will probably have an offset of 23 degrees or so, so the dish face for that satellite will only be about 10 degrees off vertical.

If you are getting no movement on the meter needle, you need to adjust the attenuation up or down and see if there is movement when you put your hand over the LNB, it should produce a blip.

Check you connections http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...91-post14.html , as if they aren't made properly, the setup won't work.
