omg dont put your tongue on it m8 lol, that can be 18v, thatll spike your hair lol
if no voltage is coming out of the cable at the motor end, check its not shorted out in the f connector at the back of the receiver
click satellite help below, then how to install a motorised dish, in that thread theres a link on how to make off the ends of the cable

update now ive got the motor to move finally now im a wee bit confused should i use disequ or usuals with usuals i can put my elevation in on my dish and my lattitude in on my motor bracket which one is easiest.
im sure in nearly there i followed didi's tut my bracket is level and square my motor is also parrallel with the bracket. i know i have to get up the dreaded ladder again and move the dish to the west until i get thor
i have added some pics of my mobile of my setup nw and also what i have looking straight at the dish ie trees etc
the picture of the trees in facing west

usals is the best m8
diseqc 1.2 you have to manually find and store every satellite one at a time
usals you set the dish to one satellite, and it then calculates where all the others are
set it as usals, then tell it to move to thor, bbc world news, then go out and play with the dish untill you get a picture
if you find thor then enter the usals details youll have to start again

Right guys i have tried both ways and im getting **** all,the bracket is set dead south everything is correct ive even replaced the lnb thinking this could be why im not getting a signal ive done from wall to wall and i carnt find nothing thor,astra etc the lattitude is correct on the motor and the dish elevation is correct

does the motor have stored positions? in manual it'll have loads of numbers and then say which is for each satellite. also try getting the box to manually move the motor east > west and see if it moves
shouldnt need LNB or anytihng to do that plugged in
try bringing the motor indoors and having it on very short cable run from box to check its moving?

Nr mate i have checked that todat and the lat is set on the lattitude side
its like im totally missing the arc but everything is right ive checked checked and double checked.
the only thing i could think of is the motor bracket i have only been moving left and right but not up and down so could this be my problem.
i tried the sat meter and nothing changes and also the bars on the screen are in reds and have the following quality 30% and siganl 5%
im really pulling my hair out now what else could i have done wrong.

Hi all ive been reading all night and thinking and ive found sumfin which could be my problem or lets say hope.
ive attatched a photo of my dish and also a copy of digi photo of his tut.What i have found is my motor is the other way which isnt a problem but i have found that in his tut he has this paragraph.
"Now you need to mount the dish onto the motor, this is an important part of the installation as if the dish is not mounted on the motors pole correctly then it will fail to follow the satellite arc correctly and you will not pick up the available signals correctly, The dish has to be pointing away from the center of the motors pole, check this as you are tightening the dish onto the pole because as you tighten the left nut the dish will turn on the pole to the right and vice versa so tighten both sides of the clamp evenly"
On digi's photo his dish is at the end of his motor arm (i have arrowed it in red) Now mine is only in the middle could this be the problem does my have to be at the very end????
ive added a picy of mine to show u
let us knw what u fink
