What do you have for cable/wires... ? I'm assuming this is a previously installed C-band system. (?)

1 - Coax = IF from LNB (probably C-band).
3 - 20ga wires = Polarity (Red-5+v, White-pulse, Black-ground)
2 - 16ga wires = 36v motor power (Red, White)
3 - 22ga wires = motor sensor. (green, orange, brown)

The coax connects to the LNB IN at the back of the 786N/A.

The red (5+), black (GND) and white (PULSE) wires connect where it's labled "SCEW" on the back of the 786N/A. This controls polarity

The 2 large wires, red and white (36v), are for actuator motor power and go to the 36V (or M1 M2) connectors on your Astron Satseeker. Not sure, but I believe the Astron accepts the reed sensor so you would only use 2 of the small sensor wires (22ga). I'd use which ever two alread show use.

The 786N/A looks to be a nice receiver for the BUD. This will probably be my next receiver, just holding out to see if Fortec will put these out with the Power Search feature like the Ultra has. :-)
