[QUOTE="kitch45, post: 567323, member: 308010"] Hi, Took delivery of my shiny new Dark Box, Fortec Star motor/dish/lnb 3 days ago and set about installing as per all the great instructions given here. Dishpointer provided all the other details needed. Got my mast vertical,motor/dish pointing due south,into usals to punch in position and send to Thor. Set about getting a signal, result= nothing, 61% on signal 0% on quality no matter how much I moved it. I should point out motor was working fine at this point. Thought I must be doing something obviously wrong, so back to the site. Discovered I was using wrong cable and connectors so decided to change these and As I was doing that I might as well change the place I was putting the whole thing to a more favourable position. Did the set-up, switched on receiver but discovered motor was now not working. No l.e.d. Sure I haven't worked on it with power on but it has been peeing down all morning, so has it shorted? Where do I go from here? Any help would be much appreciated [/QUOTE]
