[QUOTE="OldBen, post: 655789, member: 194242"] So I have a Moteck 2100 with a 85cm clear dish on it, that is slightly out of alignment. Either that or the technomate is confused, I suppose either is possible, but due to dish location and recent winds I am assuming its the dish. Here is the thing, I can get 28.2, 19E fine with USAL/Diseqc positioning but if I crank it round to 1w or beyond its all slightly off, I have to nudge it back with the technomate manual adjustment (like its gone too far) then I get a strong signal again. Current theory's: [LIST=1] [*]Dish is off on all satellites, stronger signal on 28.2, 19e means it works? [*]Dish is no longer on correct azimuth (up/down right) so arc tracks out of alignment? [*]Dish has rotated on motor spindle, motor on pole, and whole lot is slightly out left/right but stronger signal on 28.2 means it does not have to be nudged? [*]Something to do with motor supposedly knowing where the satellites are has gone wrong? [/LIST] Anyone with a better knowledge than me suggest which angle of adjustment is likely to be out with the behaviour I am seeing? Thanks for any help... [/QUOTE]
