[QUOTE="moley147, post: 827331, member: 393261"] Hi everyone. I have been messing with my satellite system for a few years now. I used a DM7020 until HD came out and swapped for DM800SE. I have had to swap out two malfunctioning motors. A stab90 was the original and it lasted for a good few years and then went for a maplin one which worked for a couple of years until a few weeks ago when it decide it would only go east. So I bought a new maplin one thinking it would be an easy swap. It wasn't. The rotor arm was welded in place so I had to swap everything out and so had to re align everything. I could only find hot bird and Thor last Sunday and ran out of light. Just had a mess about this afternoon due to my phone line being down and having to wait in for the BT engineer to replace the faulty wall socket. Managed to get sky at 100% and hotbird at 90% average per channel. Re aligned some of the other satellites so I think my arc isn't too far out of whack. Hopefully I can pick up enough tips on this site to get my system tuned to perfection. Thanks Ian [/QUOTE]
