[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 803791, member: 310216"] Sue, I've looked through the Road Pro website and although there's lots of info on there I can find nothing specific to altering the control box. It mght be that they intend users to contact them for reprogramming, I don't know. The only other thing you could try would be to initialise a search for Astra2 North rather than South. My reasoning is that they may use a different transponder for that 'beam'. Other than that I guess you'll have to get in touch with Road Pro who surely must have had other users with the same problem. One thing your problem has done, it's convinced me to buy a crank up system for my MH when (and if) I get one. Either that or a larger dish on a tripod outside. Edit: I've just found the following suggestion from a similarly frustrated Camos owner. If all else fails you could try this : "I've been places where there were no buildings or trees to obscure the view, but still couldn't get the Camos to lock onto anything. All I could hear was the interminable whirring on the roof. However, worse than that is when there's no whirring at all, when the electronics just don't kick in and seek the chosen satellite. I've many times checked wiring and connections, then gone to bed, only to find that the next morning, the Camos behaved as it should. With mine, the fault seems to lie with the controller, because that's the only variable in the system, everything else being fixed. I have no magic technique other than to switch the controller off, then straight back on again, and hold down the on/off button, until I hear the satellite search begin. I may have to do this many times before anything happens." [/QUOTE]
