Dear Ramycoo,

If the antenna is pointed to the correct satellite and you are able to receive tv channels then you should check below things to achieve Rx led green on the modem:

1. Is the lnb rx polarization same as with your ISP's downlink carrier? You can rotate your lnb by 90 degrees from the current angle to check this.

2. Is your options file updated ? If the rx parameters not same as actual parameters at hub station then you cant lock to the downstream carrier.

3. Check your LNB's local osilator frequency, it should be same with the setting in the options file.

I hope these help you.
