Did you set the local oscillator frequency to 10,600 MHz? That should be correct for the Fortec LNB you have. Also, make sure you have the correct transponder data entered and tune to an active transponder when looking for signal.

I really think you need the receiver for the multi LNB settings to get it aimed right...
but you can go here and type in your zip code:

Laura, I'm sure there's a bunch of people here that can help you thru this.
1. Need to know your zip code.
2. Do you have a good unobstructed view of the satellite arc? (Do you know what that means?)
3. Describe more of your equipment, not just the receiver but dish, size, the "LNB" at the end of the dish arm, and the cable you are using.
4. Is there a positioning motor involved?
5. Turn off the caps lock please! (thanks)
