I had the dish, lnb, twinhan_starbox.

But I can't receive any signal. Problem could be: the cable used is rg59 but not rg6. Problem could also be: dish is not aiming the satellite.

I am going to purchase cable and compass tomorrow.
But

There are several questions:

1, If I have a external reciever box, do I need to aim the dish before I do a blind scan? I mean if I just put the dish there, the lnb still might pick up some signal. If the receiver could do a blind scan, I have no need to aim the dish to the sat.

2, Is there any blind scan software for the twinhan starbox?

3, Is the must be rg6 type?

4, if I need to purchase a receiver box, what's recommended? Viewsat 2000 extreme has the blind scan feature?

Thanks very much.

*****Sat has to be aimed correctly , ALWAYS !**********

******Maybe not , IF the distance is SHORT .*************
