dont put the meter between the receiver and the motor (if thats what you were doing).....

you can also bypass the motor completely when trying to aim your motor/dish assembly.....just run the wire from your receiver into the signal meter.....then out of the meter to the LNB......

now do your aiming.....after you have it aimed properly then you can disconnect everything and do your wiring properly.....

oh and its always best to delete all of your channels first before you re-scan a satellite.....this will prevent duplicate channels......
BILL!!! I AM GETTING TIRED OF NEEDING TO GIVE YOU ALL THESE THANK YOU's but on the other hand, you have been a hugh help!!

Of course your right again, I had the #$%^&* meter connected between the ird and the motor instead of between the motor and the lnb. Appears that my motor might just be OK after all.

Duplicate channels-- I don't have duplicate channels, what I see is the same programing on several different channels. I expect things will improve after I reinstall the motor.

Again--- thanks for your help!!!
