My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT

The bit that moves easiest.

I didn't do mine up tight enough and the elevation of the dish changed.

There are only 4 things to check.

1. Dish elevation

2. Motor elevation.

3 Motor azimuth on pole, or pole has rotated.

4 Dish is mounted centrally on the motor arm.

My System: andrews dish - jaeger 1224 motor, vantage x221tsci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, cyfra+

i've found the first thing to move is the dish on the motor pole, this has happened to me twice now.

i did wonder if drilling through the motor pole and use some bolts to hold the dish better would make any difference

the best diseqc motor i've seen is the cryptic motor as the dish can bolt directly to the motor

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Yes, movement on the mast is most common, then dish vertical adjustment, not had the motor elevation move on any installation.

yes the where the dish clamps to the motor need to be looked at in my opinion as the design is not any good.
