[QUOTE="AdamWB, post: 960192, member: 407660"] Hi I bought a setup from IPCopter a few years back when I was travelling a lot in my Motorhome. Since 3 and 4G coverage got so good I only use my Dish for TV. The Dish itself has a twin LNB one for Internet and one for TV. It used to be fine but a few months back for some reason I ask it to find Astra 2. (28.5 east) and it just doesn't do what it should. Sometimes the dish comes up half way, sometimes it will scan left and right but not move up or down in the small increments that it should until it finds a signal. IPCopter have said that 28.5 have changed their frequency and this is the reason and even sent me a replacement dreambox to remedy it. Didn't work. It still has the same problem. I thought it was the motors on the dish itself are wearing out, but it points and moves fine for other satellites! Does anyone have any idea of what it could be? I am ready to replace the dish with a more modern setup, maybe a dome but as I spent over £2000 4 years ago and only want freesat, I would prefer to sort the issue if I can before needing to fork out another load of cash. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff. Could it be a transponder issue? Does the tansponder have to be exactly right to pick up a signal? There are so many! Any help or just advice will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Adam WB [/QUOTE]
