The dish you have can only pick up KU band signals, not C-Band. It will not pull in C-band transponders. The way to distinguish between the two is by the frequency. A 4 digit number is C-Band (eg: 4,000 MHz) and a 5 digit number is KU Band (eg: 12,177 MHz). So forget the 4 digit transponders as your dish cannot pick them up.

Go the lyngsat.com (see my links) and have a good look around at the data. Look for a 5 digit transponder (KU Band) and yellow color and "DVB" and then "F" (free to air). If you look on transponder 12,177 for T5 (now IA5) you will see what I mean - there are lots of channels on that transponder.

Then do the same for the other satellites you want and get the corresponding transponder data (frequency, polarity and symbol rate) then make sure the data in your receiver matches that info.

Try T5 (IA5) first to gain experience, then tackle the motor.
