You can't use DirecTV or Dishnetwork LNBs for FTA satellites
I understand that, I just wanted to see if the motor and receiver were working (receiving a signal).

Are you certian that you have the motor settings for each satellite correct?
At the time of the last post I was just manually moving to see if I could find anything.

Does your receiver have the original factory software?
Yes, I haven't done a thing yet. It has the 5/05 version. I have the 65/95 firmware, but haven't even looked at the zip folder yet.

Update. Things are up and running. I didn't realize elevation as as critical as it is. I must of been off a few degrees, just enough to pass by everything. I can see why when I saw a comment about using C band dishes for Ku regarding alignment. :mozilla_surprised:

Two things are still a issue, this locking up of the motor control to where it either doesn't respond or just keeps moving untill I power the receiver down completely,
second, it looks as my 'arc' is out from one end to the other. Ok south but the further I go east or west, the worse it gets. I will look into this further, but that's as far as I got to date.

Other receiver questions;
1. What is thet '6-70' I see on boot up on the display?
2. Can the motor be moved when you are on the 'SS' screen (so you can 'hear' the signal change)?
