Ross Satellite - No signal

[lymmman]

Hi I have a Ross satellite system picked up from b&Q. Fixed the dish on wall and pointed dish in rough direction of sat with a compass. The receiver says "no signal" connected as satellite meter to dish and this also showed no signal at all. I would have expected at least a very weak signal rather than no signal at all.
Check all cables and they are good. So what is wrong any ideas, Thanks

Thats ok will worry about getting the correct sat later. My initial question is should i get a signal however poor. Surely if if point the sat in the general direction i should at least get a poor signal , even background signal. But i get nothing "no signal"

Unless you're pointing at exactly the right area (well within a degree) then you will get no signal.
