Aha. thanks for response. So at least the connections are good LNB- Coax - Sat REceiver

So, measures to establish correct bit of sky. I used www.dishpointer.com to get a direction (Azimuth and Elevation), trying both Astra 1 and Astra 2 to try get success. (Info on here seems to throw confusion on just which is the correct satellite)

I also watched the ROSS video on set up. It looks rediculously easy when their quality manager does the set up. slight adjustment and up comes the signal.

What am I missing? - I am getting nothing at all. Just about to see once again if I can get through to ROSS who so far have not picked up the phone.

also, neighbour has a dish on his wall. They look to be similar in elevation and direction.

If I need to get a meter to find a signal, which would you recommend?

I spoke with ROSS support and it is suggested using the factory preset, selecting BBC1 London and adjusting the dish until a picture is seen. Watching the signal quality monitor is of little use. Using the cheaper end of the market for signal metering is not really good. So it looks like I am getting to the end of the road. BTW This is the HD Satellite Kit (Not the SD).
