So when you hook the cable directly to your LNB, do you get a picture?? If not, have you done a scan?

You may have a faulty cable going from your LNB to the motor. Try replacing that cable and see what happens. Make sure that cable is satellite RG6 grade, and not some cheap cable wire. If you are not sure, check the packaging to make sure it says that it can used for satellite signals.

all cable is rg6 jumper new have put barrel coupling in from reciever cable to jumper cable ,ans hav3 scaned all 6 birds i have motor programed to just cannot get sighnal thru motor all i can figure is bad circuit board . but it will turn to each bird just no signal untill motor is unhooked an cable run staright to lnb

I have heard of motors stripping signal out of the line. I would suspect the motor myself.

Try this. Connect the receiver to the motor. Then connect the cable that normally goes to the LNB to a satellite meter. Then connect the other end of the satellite meter to the LNB. This way you can see if any power getting through to the LNB.
