[QUOTE="mossy23, post: 1149764, member: 418794"] Hi, having a strange issue with my setup - Technomate TM-2300 Super, driving a Triax 88cm dish. Receiver is a VU Solo 2. Everything was fine until this week when I went to watch something on 28.2, it seemed the dish was pointing somewhere else and was not moving. Checked the motor power LED and nothing there. Today I ran a separate cable from the box to the motor and power came back on and everything ok. The cable setup is as follows - 2 cables are ran from a junction box behind the TV, these go up over the ceiling and down the wall into a junction box on my kitchen wall. From there they are connected to cables that go outside underground to the dish in the back garden. There is a also a 3rd cable from the junction box to back garden If I connect a cable over the ground from cables at the dish to cables in the kitchen, and then check for continuity with my DVM it is saying there is no break in the cables, getting about 4ohms as resistance. This is just by connecting the middle wires in the cables Another thing I did was run a cable from the motor to the junction box in the kitchen - with this I was getting signal on BBC 1 but unable to move the motor, which I found odd. Also there is a 3rd spare cable from kitchen to dish, I put a connector on this cable and connected to the motor. Then in the kitchen I connected this cable to the cable which feeds back to the receiver, but this did not work either...... It seems the issue is somewhere between the kitchen and the motor, anyone have any ideas where to go next? [/QUOTE]
