No quality!

I am in the process of installing a motorized FTA system (HH120, 80cm Dish, Lifetime Ultra, 0.5 dB universal LNB). I have the dish mounted and the motor functioning properly. I am trying to acquire a signal at IA-6, which is almost directly south of here (I'm at 46° N / 92° W). The receiver's screen is displaying a signal of 53 and quality of 0...without changing! If somebody could give me a hand, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

Allow me to mention that I am peaking it on ABC News's channel.

I would remove the motor and try to find it without it! IMO the motor should not be powered up until you find the true south satellite, make sure it is at the zero position before you put it back on! Can you see the TV from the dish? The dish has to be moved very slowly stopping every few millimeters waiting for 2-3 seconds before moving again.

I think you are going to like the Fortec Lifetime Ultra, good luck!

the universal LNB has to be set to something different in the system install screen. I think you change the LNB to "universal"
