[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 5301, member: 175277"] First thing I would suggest you do is to disconnect your satellite reciever from the motor connections to the jack arm. I assume your 4dtv receiver is based upon the Motorola 4DTV? Which is the reciever that you used last that, would not move the jack arm. lets start fresh take your reciever and your 36 inch jack and connect to the back of the receiver short cable 6 foot lets say with them next to each other. Hold the tube clamp bracket so that it can not rotate the outer,then press the move button for both directions does it work ok ? if it does then measure the position of the jack arm and then move lets say 200-300 counts on the display, then reverse to the opposite the measurement should be the same. check it out with both jack arms. If this proves ok then maybe the problem is mechanical or your cable has gone down From what you said earlier it apears that your dish alignment is not so far out ? Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
