[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 509317, member: 256551"] Hi, Have a look at this guide for setting up a motorised dish. [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/90916-setup-guide-moteck-diseqc-motor-others.html[/url] I don't know what your longitude is, but the system should normally be setup at the top of the arc ( with the motor pointing around zero), for many of us in the UK, the satellite at 1W is at the top of the arc. If the system was setup correctly, sending the dish to 1W, or whichever satellite is closest to your due south should give you a good signal, as the system shoud have been set up for it. If you can't get a signal at the top of the arc, it is more than likely that your system is setup completely wrong, unless there is an obstruction between the dish and the satellite. One setup up at the top of the arc, the normal procedure is to gradually work your way round the arc with the motor looking for a good signal and storing the positions as you go.
