[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 97798, member: 175057"] Sounds like you are jumping the gun, you need to have the motor at its zero position, perhaps a couple of degrees west to account for your longitude. Then you need to swing the motor mount on the pole and the dish elevation up and down whilst monitoring the signal strength on the receiver. A portable TV out by the dish will help, as will making sure that you have the default transponder on 1W set to something like 11421 H 24500 7/8 When you have achieved a signal on that, then lock up the dish and pole mount and try scanning on that transponder to see if you've found the correct satellite.
