im trying a different lnb as im not geting anything at all and ive even tried straight from the receiver to the dish and got nothing so im going to see if i can get anything with the new lnb

**************************************
it looks like your not on the correct arc, this is how to set a dish up
***************************************
1: Put up wall bracket or a pole vertical with a spirit level on a south facing wall or as close to south as possible.
2: while motor is still on floor adjust your elevation/latitude markings on the motor to the same as your latitude where you live, if your motor markings have only elevation makings it is 90- latitude= elevation on motor. use Worldwide map search, route finder and travel directions - powered by Multimap to find the longitude and latitude.fully Tighten up. this will not have to be adjusted again.
3: Attach your dish to motor while still on floor making sure the dish bracket is in line with the vertical line on the motor as this is very important. Tighten up bracket to the dish as you should not have to adjust this again. And also loosely tighten up the nut on the elevation on dish.
4: Put dish and motor to wall bracket and point roughly south then loosely tighten up.
5: Run your cable from your receiver to the motor.dont clip to the wall yet, do this after the set-up.
6: Input your latitude and longitude on your receiver yours will be different to mine before adjusting your dish, and then tell usals to go to Thor 1W/0.8W.
7: Then adjust the dish for the best signal for Thor, by moving only the motor around the wall bracket/poleand the elevation on dish. I use a meter for this part but for people without a meter use BBC world channel to check the signal with.[this is a strong signal] Once the signal is the best you can get it tighten everything up, and then run cable from motor to lnb, if you are using your receiver to check signal for alignment rather than a meter this needs to be done first.
8: Seal all the cable connections with amalgamating tape.and clip the cable to the wall and where it enters the house though the wall, loop the cable below the entry to allow rain water to run off and not damage the system connections.
9: the finished job, well done!
and above all make sure you work safe and double check everything.[more haste less speed] If you are not confident working at heights or using power tools do not attempt this yourself.Stay safe.

yes have done al this but i think the lnb is f*cked as no matter what position i point the dish at the signal strength stays at 59 and never locks on to anything so im trying a different lnb just to see if it is working or not

have you tried running a fresh cable to the lnb by-passing the motor? Sorry would like to help but your a bit to far
