Well, I did try. and if you guys are familiar with the receiver I have two bars level bar and quality bar well the qaulity bar is always 0% no matter where i posiition the dish.
any ideas please help.

The signal strength means nothing you are looking for signal quality only, what satellite are you try to point at? What channels are you looking for? When we know that you enter the Frequency, the polarity (H-V /L-R), and the symbol rate of a live channel then slowly move the dish until you see quality on the meter, please come over to the FTA/MPEG2 area for more advice, we will soon have you up and running!







Please move this post to the FTA/MPEG2 area, thanks!

I just wanna thank you for your help

You are welcome,
Enter the above coordinates in the antenna setup screen, with your dish elevation set at 54 deg. slowly move the dish until you see quality on the screen, you have to be able to see the TV from the dish if possible or you will only ever find a satellite by luck! Might take a while but you will get it, a compass is a great help!
