Thanks for the info. I tried what you said. I am at 72.5 W so I set the receiver to AMC 6 at 72 W. I then tried raising and lowering in < 1 degree increments to + and - 7 or so degrees. I also at several increments tried moving the dish side to side in very small increments moving probably 20 degree each way in case my true south was off. I still have not seen a signal more than 4%.

I've spent probably 4+ hours after I thought I was properly setup trying to get a signal and am about ready to just rip the whole thing down and toss it in the garbage. I know its probably different but I've set up a direct tv dish before (no motor) and it took maybe 10 minutes to align and tune it in to get a good signal.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian
