[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1072127, member: 404998"] 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 : ) God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
