My System: motorised 1.0m dish with crypitik V mount motor and Technomate 5400CI+

Due south located with a rangefinder compass
Told reciever to go to Thor, which results in a very small burst of movement.

then...
Signal Level... 89%
Quality .... 22%

No picture.... get the bbc world channell up (no signal)... sit there and fine tune / move the dish east and west for ages in either direction no picture or signal quality still. Tried moving the dish up and down same, tried moving the motor around the pole same.

Strange thing is when initially setting it up we did at one point get a channel briefly, but nothing since .....

help please
exactly the same as me. Got an installer in for £20 and he moved the dish to its "proper" position. I had tried for two hours but Thor was not where my compass said that it should be. Everything ok now.
