Good afternoon gentlemen from a sunny Mullion Cove Cornwall.
I wonder if any of you have similar troubles with the Technomate receiver.
I use a Technomate TM-5402HD C1+ Super + with a couple of V box's from SSS.
All had been stable for some time until today, I had not used the units for a few weeks.
Today all the 36 satellites had disappeared.
The scale on the dish I use showing East West positions was correct, as when I drove the dish to the correct setting a satellite appeared.
I reset one satellite and did a reset all in the menu and they were all back on except for a bit of tweaking.
I had to drive the dish a fair way to correct it.
Nothing mechanical has moved as the end stops at both East & West are correct, if the jack had moved this would not have been so.
Nor has the motor bracket moved on the pole.
I conclude from this that it was a software problem.
I had saved the setting previously but did not think of trying a re-install at the time.
Would that have worked ?
Un-plugging the power temporally to a V box does not normally cause a problem, I may have pulled the plug to one while removing a router, but not for long.
C band which uses the same receiver but a seperate v box was OK.
It is all now working OK any thoughts welcome : )
