[QUOTE="blackburnman04, post: 924927, member: 317491"] Hi all, I am currently using a Skybox V8S with a motorised setup (TD110 dish and TM2600 motor). I had noticed some slight signal decrease over time on most satellites, and yesterday I went to do a channel scan on 30w. The dish started to move as usual, but when it reached 30w it made a horrible sound, which led me to believe that the satellite dish had fell off the bracket so I went out to inspect. The dish was still attached to the bracket and motor securely but it seems that the dish is at a position that is further west than 30w. I tried to go to x to get the dish back to starting position,but there is no power no being received on my tm2600 and no green light being dispalyed either. I also tried to press the manual east/west button but nothing. The motor seems dead. I also tried to drive the motor using a friends dm800hd but there is still no sign of life from the motor. My question is, is it possible that if the dish (TD110) is driven beyond 30w that it could cause the motor to break in some way or dislodge something inside the motor causing it to no longer power?
