zero signal generally means a wrong antenna setting (lnb freq, tp freq, diseqc port) or a bad connection to the LNB, or a bad LNB itself.....

so lets start at square one......

the first thing you do is bring your LNB inside to where your receiver is.....with your receiver off connect the LNB to the receiver using a short piece of RG6 cable.....

go into antenna settings for any circular sat such as 110, 119 or 91.....enter in all the proper info.....LNB freq 11250, tp 12224, diseqc none, etc etc.....you should get a signal reading but no Q, if not you have a bad LNB or a bad cable......

next turn the receiver off and connect the cable going to the dish to the receiver and to the motor input.....turn on the receiver and go into the antenna settings for the same satellite you used above.....

under motor options select "user", "installer" or diseqc 1.2.....now with the arrow keys on the remote try to move the motor east and west manually and have somebody watch the motor to see if it is moving.....

if you dont have anybody to watch the motor then bring the motor inside to your receiver and hook it up with the short piece of cable like you did with the LNB so you can watch it move.....

do both of those things then get back to us to help you further......
