I am really confused as to where the problem lies or what is the culprit for this one. A 36inch superjack is paired with a vbox connected to a TM 5402- MK3. I have checked the wiring and even reset the vbox but now overnight when I leave the receiver in standby mode and switch it back on in the morning it randomly moves to an east or west limit. If I store any limits in the receiver for instance east it will not move the dish West.

When the dish is sometimes to correct position even though I can see a picture the receiver gives an error message no signal or audio. Could it even be an LNB or diseqc switch problem.

Just don’t know what the issue is and what to replace unnecessarily.

Do you have a different satellite receiver, you can test it with?
When you state that you have checked the wiring, do you mean the 4 wires running from your actuator, to your V-Box, your co-ax cables, or both?

Some receivers give a diseqc commando when switched on .
Try to switch first the receiver and the Vbox later
