Does anybody have as many issues as me with a motor. it never seems to work consistanlty well.
my motor is about 3 or 4 years old now and i dont think its ever worked properly.
ive had it attached to 3 different recievers, current receiver is a TM1500 but it still has issues.
list of issues:
1. move west from 0 and it goes for a few seconds, then starts to move east.
2. once i get to 13e its impossible to move back west without moveing to reference.
3. all my recievers have lost the memory of sat positions so i have to re align then.
4. it would on one satellite all week then all of a suuden it will decide to bugger of as far east as it can go.
5. and finally last week i lost all signal, the angles havent moved as the bolts are rusted solid. i wired the connectors and checked for water so i beleive thats fine.
the only problem i can see it my lnb has died or the motor is not passing the signal through anymore.
is my motor just crap, shall i buy a new one? if so, which?
Piccie below.
or shall i just go for a multi sat fixed system (i only use 13e, 16e and 19e)?
sorry for the moan on a sunday morning, any suggestions appreciated.
thanks
