Pajo,<br /><br />Your Motek is not set up correctly. I'll attempt to give you a couple of hints on getting the Motek set up correctly, but first before I go ahead, you need to find out your approximate coordinates, perhaps with a GPS?<br /><br />If your in Brisbane proper the coordinates of the Airport will do...lets see...Ok<br /><br />YBBN<br />S27 23.0 E153 07.1<br /><br />Ok here is the deal.<br /><br />1. Turn your STB on and go up to the roof.<br />take a small mirror with you and with the buttons on the motek adjust it so the arrow points to zero. (The more precise you are the easier it is to set up.)<br />Now with a sharp object (needle) press and hold the reset button, which is in a hole right next to the green light. The light will flash red 3 times and that’s step one.<br /><br />2. Now come down from the roof and go to the STB. In your satellite menu move the motor left. If your dish moves left then you have The Southern version. If it moves right then you have the Northern version of the motek.<br /><br />Go to the USALS menu and in your location put it:<br />For Southern version <br />Longitude : 153.1E<br />Latitude : 27.4S<br /><br />For Northern version <br />Longitude : 153.1E<br />Latitude : 27.4N<br /><br />That’s step 2<br /><br />3. Tell your receiver to use USALS and tune into a OPTUS C1 Transponder. Go back on the roof now and confirm that at this point your motek should have moved around 3 degrees to the east (you can verify this with your mirror. By the way, don't brake the mirror...its 7 years of bad luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> .<br /><br />4. Adjust the Motek elevation (on the Latitude scale) as close to 27.5 as you can. This should equate to around 62.5 on the elevation scale.<br /><br />Now adjust your dish elevation to as close as possible to 25.4. <br /><br />5. Make sure that the dish is fastened to the middle of the moteks arm (there is a line down the centre of the arm).<br /><br />6. The LNB cable should be pointing to 5 O'Clock, when you stand in front of the dish and looking towards the Dish.<br /><br />7. Go behind the dish now and loosen the screws of the motek and ever so slowly move it left and right from what you know is true north (I think it's 12 degrees West of Magnetic North (compass)).<br />With a bit of luck you should get some signal at this point!.<br /><br />Good luck!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <br /><br />Vlad...
