              If its a Dark Motor or another clone then the Red/Green Blink is normal as this tells you the Motor is in working operation when they are solid leads to a problem.

              If in theory you have a dark motor as you have not stated then disconnect the Receiver lead from underneath the motor hold the East/west Buttons in and put the lead back in wait 10 seconds and release the east/west buttons and that resets the motor.

              You can also reset it via your box with the send motor to '0' option

                      my personal opinion ? - they are all c**p !! - period

                      you cannot beat a scaffold pole on T-K brackets if you are mounting on a wall

                          depends on location of dish is it on a south facing wall and what size of dish are you using as the bigger the dish then the longer the mount arm will have to be for clearance on the satellite ARC.

                          45cm is the Longest if you are determined to do this with an 'L' shaped mount as i say size of dish and location will dictate the lengh of the arm being used as you can get 30cm brackets
