Thank you so much, I did whatever been suggested but no luck at all, Universal LNB, dual pol LNB and C band LNB but none is giving me good. I used to fix my satellite at Malaysia to measat with my eyes closed using universal LNB. I do not know what is wrong here, I tried both Strong and Deawoo STB with same setting been suggested to each LNB. No luck,
How to test if both of my STB are not properly functioning?
any cheap Sat finder in south of adelaide or I could borrow from someone?

I could be wrong weley but in that pic your dish seems to be looking very high,so maybe try lowering it quite a bit.
Take note of the pic that beer4life posted, yours seems to be aimed as a prime focus dish while it should be aimed as an offset dish.

what settings are being used for TP2? Just plonk in something like 12358H with a SR27800 and FEC 3/4 and sweep/scan the sky left to right and move the dish up a little at a time and do it sloooooooowly. It's such a strong sat you should find it this way. The dish should be on less than a 45 deg angle. Don't go by the scale as they can be inaccurate.

I agree with Weirdo and MTV. The elevation angle of your offset dish, as illustrated in your picture, is far too high.
The elevation angle for an offset dish (for reception of Optus C1) is normally between 22 to 25 degrees for the Adelaide area. As already stated, the angle will vary slightly from one dish (brand and size) to another.
Adelaide is located at 138 degrees east longitude, therefore Optus C1 will be found a further 18 degrees (156 degrees minus 138 degrees) to the east.
Look around your location for a Foxtel dish and note the direction in which it is pointing in relation to some nearby landmark. Adjust the azimuth of your dish similarly, then follow the advice in OSIRUS' post, exercising the following caution.
Do NOT alter BOTH azimuth and elevation angles SIMULTANEOUSLY! Experiment by altering only ONE adjustment at a time and move the dish SLOWLY.
Once you have located Optus C1, MARK the dish mounting bracket, so that you can quickly return the dish to it's current position, should you decide to look for other nearby satellites.
Tried everything above and no good at all

Leroy, I will try this setting later today, is it correct?
thanks

Under LNB Type is there an option that my say single instead? As mentioned below LNB Voltage needs to be on otherwise it looks fine.

G'Day Cobber,
One thing for sure, you need the " Switch 14/18 V set to ON". That is what powers the LNB.
I cannot see any valid reason for using 12358 H, as it is an encrypted Foxtel Transponder and you wont get any Pix there.
Use the Tuning Channel(TP3), 12407 / V / 30000 as it has the Optus and Aurora.
No wonder you are having problems.

Take a look a neighbors Foxtel or Austar Pay TV Satellite dish,
yours should look like this, & pointing to the same point in the sky too,
(just be careful that they don't have their dish on another Satellite, other than for Foxtel or Austar)

Thank you guys I manage to lock the signal finally

Congrats.... on getting some pictures
It looks like you may be on Optus D2 at 152 E
with all those $SKY Channels there in the menu
What does the Tune 15? say .....156, or 152 ? on your menu
The channel you could be on, on Optus D2 is BTV3 (2)
& what is your Signal Strength & Quality Strength ?
maximize the signal & quality, & mark the pole before moving it again , so you can get back here.

I was typing the same as Osirus then the phone rang. Yep Optus D2 @ 152deg. There is a TP with the same details on both D2 and C1.
Mark the dish elevation and azimuth (on the pole) and standing behind the dish you move it to the right a few mm and down a couple.

I got it few channels already, its E152 Optus 2.
I tried another TP then more channels came, the problem the STB I am used (Deawoo) does not have the name of any optus so I have to create new one and at same time create new TPs
this where I have to go to Lyngsat I guess.
Thanks a lot guys for your time, I am so happy now )
the next will be the motorized C band dish, but I want to take break and go for holiday when I am back I will work on that.
I have tried (The Durid) TP3 and I manage to lock the signal, thanks to all
Hi again, I am not trying to fix the C band dish to Asiasat 5, using the setting at in the picture. is the STB setting right?
And how can I get to the elevation to 32.8 degree. I do have motorized dish but I want to fix it to one asiasat 5 only for the time being.

Elevation: 32.9°

LNB Skew [?]: -41.5
You need 5150 setup in your lnb settings for Cband
G'Day Cobber,
As well as above, I also note that that you have set your LNB Switch Voltage to 14 V.
That will only give you the Vertical channels on that Satellite. If you want the horizontal channels as well, it needs to be set: Switch 14/18 V ON.
That's about it for the moment,
Kindest Regards, " The Druid ".
