The it went dead.Before it went dead it would go slow very slow and finally stop.Now thinking with difference cable and another difference(24'') arm it might move. It did not move at all. These are the arms that Iwas using before I got the 36''arm,so Ijust took it of and put in the garage.What I was tring to fine out which is bad the receiver or the arms, cable? Something is causing the problem.The frist cable is less than 1 year the receiver,the arm all of this new stuff(I got everything new) or just like new can go bad. I did not think about Radio shack(have the 6ft motor cable,I will get it today)  they sale (2) 14 gauge, (2)20gage wire.I will get it today and try it.Tring to eliminate the 4dtv in the system. I hook a pansat ap-3000 positioner to move the dish. It did not move. Next I try my Chaparral monterey 95. Not move. I kept tring all of my arms nothing work. I did accomlish something .I am using 1/2 '' all-threaded rod to drive my dish( 8 turn take me to the next sat)like amc2@85deg to amc3@87deg.2deg spacing so 2 deg = to 8 turn. I am getting higher signal read to but the picture is not better on some of them. Because I am not align yet.I diconnected c/ku lnb cable from the spitters( the reason I am using spitters is for my fta receivers) and connected it direct to the back of the 4dtv. I think that their are limit in both the arm and the receiver. They have match up. I cannot see how difference receiver, difference arm , difference cable got to do with it. If I go out and buy a new receiver, a new arm, a new cable it would work. I have been tring to get a sat-tvro tech repairman(they are not many any more,plus they have to come so far and you have to pay for drive time) out here for sometime.I still have other receivers to use. If this don' t work I will have buy 120ft of actuator motor  cable, and a new arm.(just to prove I am not cazy,I am already talking to myself ) thank you for been so kind and helpful jackp n Chicago       See I am home mostly al day. sorry about the long post      Yes I went to GO @ 123deg and got my download(all my sat, guide,update) You know when I get everything going, I will not let it move every night to get it download. Maybe its burn out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
