[QUOTE="ikymo, post: 57847, member: 182356"] The lnb's from Lidl (£3.99) are universal. The sat finder i bought from Lidl has five red lights, that light up as the signal gets stronger along with an audible beep (which sent my dogs loopy at the bottom of my ladder) and a sensitivity dial (attenuator ??) As I said in an earlier post, when i connected it to my $ky setup (which works perfectly) I didn't get any reading from the sat finder. When I setup the Lidl kit I only managed 3 lights while locating Thor 1W. I don't think it is the best meter in the world but then it only cost £3.99.[font=Verdana] Ciarank, I only had to enter my Lat & Long into the receiver to work my motor correctly, if you're not installing a motor you don't have to enter any figures. You haven't mentioned what Sat you are trying to locate, but on your receiver remote control, press menu, choose option 1 'Installation'. Enter your password (factory set at 0 0 0 0) Choose option 1 'Antenna Setting' Then choose from the list of pre-programmed satellites. Once your dish is lined up on the chosen satellite using the sat meter , go to the bottom line of the 'Antenna Setting' and select 'Start Search' If you're dish is mounted correctly, when the scan bar reaches 100% you will have a picture and sound. If you just have a black box to the left side of the menu without a picture, you haven't picked anything up. Just one thing to note, on the 'Antenna Setting' menu page, ignore the 'Signal Strength' bar. If everything is connected up and you buried the dish & lnb it will still show about 70%.
