[QUOTE="coloured pony, post: 571598, member: 309859"] Fully agree with the comment, I have spent this morning pulling whats left of my hair out,just bought a new motor,Moteck in Maplin clothing,its marked fortec star, however the good news is I bought it from Beeston Cheshire(nr Tarporly) wednesday horse market & traders market. I paid just over £20 for it,knowing the dealer,who did not know what the price was, anyhows I could draw in Turksat but not Hispasat, I knew I had done what the web site said(this one), I presumed the motor shaft was bent, but no not that. I asked SWMBO to check the co ordinates, for me, she then said what is on the dish is in correct, I looked at the dish my old 5 year comag 80cm,always a pig to aim. There it was I had put on the plastic dish retainer upside down,this as two sets of figures each side, removed the dish,replaced the retainer the correct way, set the co ordinates and bingo all sats at first attempt Turksat is strongest now 85%, Hispasat 50%, so a slight nudge is needed or skew when it stops snowing. I wonder how many others have done this without realising,I really need a magnifier to read the scale. So now I can watch the Donkey being thrown off the tower and the bull fights on Xmas day. All on Hispasat, thats family entertainment. And El Gordo (the fat one) as an horses duver. I could not get 30W before too near the house,so new post(Ex Wrexham Council footpath sign they through away in the skips) new dish farm, excellent plumbing,and now I can pay myself an extra Gin & Tonic. BTW, I told the dealer who sells junk tools etc, only SOR, he agreed. and of course no box, its never been used it seems. Bob [/QUOTE]
