new dish having trouble tuning

[mapex]

New 1.1 m dish and having trouble getting it working and tuned in..

yesterday

I've did all this before but never had this trouble.....infact i
fitted a new motor just last week and had it changed and
tuned in an hr.
Did a factory reset on my TM...
entered long and lat
the motor was alread set just a case of fitting the dish
set the dish elevation
connected motor to box-lnb to motor
used compass , due south
watched my TV for the signal on 5w to go green
moved dish from left to right.....
moved the dish elevation up
left to right
dish down a little
left to right
dish up a little

today


I thought last night as its a new dish, last dish 80cm this 1 is 1.1m well
i thought maybe the buildings opp me were getting in the way. So i had
about 40cm left on the bottom of my pole. So 1st thing ladder out and
dish off then pushed the pole up the extra 40cm. Struggled up the ladder
with the dish and got it in place, tried tuning it again with the tv then 1
of those cheap sat finders....nothing not a blip on my tv or a blip on
my little scanner that was left to right and up and down.
The box is moving the dish when i change sats so all i can think of now
is the cable from the lnb to the motor maybe broken so going to go get
one and try that...apart from that...scratching my head.
All the setting in the box are ok, lnb on ect.

Anyone any ideas.....

It was 2 big and making my pole move........20 quid anyone who
wants it.....brand new

use more brackets on the pole

2 inch steel mast correctly secured should cure movement or a scaffold pole. The FR penta dish performs well and is lightweight.
