Have you tried researching how to install a motorised dish? It is very very hard for a first timer!

There are guides on this forum, however If im honest i really cant be bothered finding them right now to post a link but look in the general satellite section

If you give me a few minutes I will upload you a channel list for 1 west so at least when you get close when moving the dish you wil get a picture on your tv

Ok here's your list, it works as I only tested it a couple of hours ago.
You will need to add back your motorised settings after updating the list.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

do this, get a channel list on your box,put it on channel 4 (strongest tp i think), send your dish to 28.2e, and move the whole motor and dish manually with your hand you may get a picture... this give you a very good idea that your close by...

Stick it on a FTA channel BBC World News comes through pretty strong, Good Luck
