Hi all,

got a problem with my motor, it works fine going from sat to sat. But when i fine tune it, it fine tunes but then when i try to switch sats it just sits there, now its locked in position between sats and i cant watch nowt.

What could be causing this, got a stab 90 and a technomate 1500.

It did this the other day and then came back to life the powers been of for 10 mins now and it still wont shift. :cool:

Heard of a few problems wth the Stab motors, are you running on USALS or DiseqC?

sorted the problem out, hung out the window to move the dish by hand and it came back to life. It was a dodgy co-ax connection, doh!

At least that was simple, strange how it only stopped working on fine adjustments, been fine for 2 weeks bar that.:-doh!
