[QUOTE="lasharratt, post: 230516, member: 183081"] Hi, thanks for your replies. Rolfw: I have rotated my LNB because I was unable to get some transponders: this improved the signal. But if I replaced the cable, I may not need to rotate the LNB. First, I found 1W using semi automatic operation with the motor. After entering longitude, latitude and the dish elevation ange, ref. satellite etc. the motor moved the dish to the correct elevaton for 1W. Then I moved the dish from east to west (or west to east) until I stumbled accross a signal. I then found the signal and tewaked the dish to receive the highest signal. I suppose it was just luck that I chose a transponder that seems to work with my setup because that is the only signal I can receive from 1W. I then selected this as the ref. satellite by resetting the azimuth and elevation to zero. Then the motor was ready to use. It correctly finds the positions of other satellites. Cupart: sorry, I forgot to mention that I bought the technomate just after the system was inatalled. I thought that the frequencies may have been out of date so I updated them through the technomate website. Also, the sat. receiver I had before (a cheap one from ebay without a make) did the same thing too. thanks for your help, lasharratt [/QUOTE]
