My mate has a Pace 508 analogue receiver connected via 4 terminals to a H-H mount to move a 1m dish with a Humax 5300 looped to the Pace to watch digital.
The dish has started to move spontaneusly, without anyone touching the Pace remote - The Pace will switch itself on from standby, go to a random channel, and the dish will move to the satellite where that channel is. Often before it gets there, the Pace will go to a different channel and if that`s on a different satellite, the dish will head there. The Pace does respond to its remote, so that he can go to a satellite to watch the Humax, but has to then switch off the Pace at the mains - otherwise the dish will be off somewhere else in a few minutes. Putting it into standby doesn`t help - the Pace switches itself on and off it goes!
He`s checked all the connections at the receiver, and visually at the dish. Is this likely to be a receiver software problem, cable problem, or motor problem? He seems to regard me as an expert, but I havn`t got a clue here!
