Bloody Hell, it's so long since I fiddled with the Monterey 40, I can't remember the settings, but I seem to remember that there is a source/decoder option that needs changing.

I have just tried that 1 (put in no ext source ) (still the same)just another thing does this reciver have 2 have a ext decoder and if so is this my prob ROLF

Channel Hopper

If its the REALLY OLD Moterey 20 then it has a loop in the back for 70MHz filtering, this must be in place for signals to come though

It would have to be removed by the last owner for it to fit in the box neatly. If its there then carry out a MAJOR reset using the front panel buttons (power on when pressing the first and third buttons from the left) then set the LNB local oscillator

Does it have original software or some dodgy after market stuff in it?

I told you it would be a nightmare
