[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 891074, member: 402382"] Hello HelenH Assume you have a motor home installation in which case your green wire should already be connected to the ignition switch as a safety precaution to lower the aerial before driving the vehicle. After going back over the historic entries on this forum posts my feeling now is that clearing the MagicSat 2002a control box of existing satellite details is a necessary step. Another observation is that the 2012 satellite research frequencies given by Scan Terieur are no longer valid because at least one does not feature in the listing of satellite details that Analoguesat gave me and this logically would result in the dish not being able to lock on and the symptons of just continuously searching as happened when I tried entering those frequencies. Interestingly the frequencies I did use resulted in the dish swinging round and locking on very quickly also I wonder by using these maybe some of the rubbish channels that get loaded into the digital receiver might not now come in which is hopefully the case as I could do without some of the stuff that gets downloaded. Good luck HelenH may the force be with you! Just noticed you are located Warwickshire so possibly not far away from where our boat is based. The Rvator [/QUOTE]
