    it's prob pointed at C1. Look at the lnb and see what the freq is and input this into your STB under dish settings Optus C1 and then go to manual scan and flick through the freq to see if you get any green bars!

    Or you could have a go yourself! Didn't you say you had a satfinder? Try find Optus C1 first and Check out


    Take note of how to use the sat finder and also select a valid transponder in the Optus C1 manual scan menu.

    Do as leroy suggests...go up on the roof, look at the lnb (white or blue receiver at end of dish arm), write down what it says, and post back here with the details to get help

    go to dishpointer.com enter your address and select the sat you want to point at and it will display a google map with a line to the direction sat.

    What LNB settings are you using? If they don't match the LNB you won't get anything.

    Don't do that unless you mark exactly what angle etc it was on.
    It is likely to be 11300 or 10700
    In your receiver menu, go look what setting your lnb is on now.
    If it says it is 11300, change it to 10700 and try a scan
    If it is set on 10700, change it to 11300 and try a scan
