I have a diseqc motor with a 120cm dish and today it has stopped turning East further than 7E.

I can move it West and then go back to 7E. But if I try to move it East, it moves just a little bit and gets stuck. When I stop trying to move it, then it goes back to the original 7E position.

Does anyone know what might have happened? I guess I need another motor?

I have been checking and it is getting more and more complicated to find good diseqc motors. Any recommendations?

What do you think about Digipower DiSEqC 1.2 H-H SG-2100A? Can anyone confirm if it has metal gear? Is this amiko, moteck, or does one manufacture for the other?

Does anyone know GTSAT Sat-motor11?

Have you accidentally set a limit?

Apparently yes. Because I disabled limits in the receiver and it is rotating again :))

Strange because I was only moving the dish, as I always do, and for sure I hadn't gone to the limits section. The receiver is old, the motor is relatively old, and I suspect there must have been some electronic failure.

Thank you very much!! Some extra time to find a good motor until the current one stops. It has very little precision now, won't last much longer.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.
