HI EVERYONE!
Okay. I'm starting to have satellite dish motor problems with my Technomate and it started yesterday. The LNB is new, as is the box and everything is set up as it should be. USUALS. I select the satellite I want but the motor is driving the dish to another position than the wanted one. If I select say 1 west, it goes to another positon to the east! If it is not a strong satellite then I get nothing at all or much lower signals to where it's dropping out. This is sending me crazy! The box I have is a new Octagon SX88+ Optima and I also upgraded its firmware. Thinking it may be the issue, I rolled that back to an earlier version but it was the same.
It's like the motor has become totally confused! Tried the reset, but to no avail and this is why I think it could be the dish motor. Can anyone give me some guidance here please. The dish is totally aligned and nothing is out of place with pole and brackets. All good there.
