    Have you left the meter connected between the receiver and LNB?

    Do Thor channels tune ok?

    What are your tuner settings?

    Have you set longitude and latitude ok?

    Check F connectors and cables.

    Btw, row of questions marks removed from the title, what exactly where they in aid of?

    What are your tuner settings?
    Have you tried installing a motorised bouquets list?
    Have you set the tuner to usals?

    In all honesty this sounds like either your dish out of alignment or your long and lat are wrong.
