[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 55550, member: 176912"] ....and does the motor actually drive? My guess would be that when it has driven the motor, it's positioned inaccurately. I reckon that if you plugged another receiver in at that point, you would not get a lock either. The 'please wait while the motor is driving...' message only dissappears once it has locked a transponder, either in scan mode or in normal TV mode when switching between channels on different satellites. In scan mode, it's looking for any one of the sats in the existing transponder list. Check to see if your satellites.xml file is loaded by viewing the 'manually edit transponder lists' option or whatever it's called. It should be full of transponders. As I say, my motor is driven by my PC, so I know that when I've driven it to another sat correctly, 'cos I can check it on my Skystar. Is it a new motorised dish, or have you just upgraded receivers? Does your old receiver drive it between the two sats OK? If it's a new motor/dish, chuck a meter on it in the second position, and see if it's out. Is your pole vertical? Is your az/el/decl set right? Did you enter your long/lat into the Dreambox correctly? Are you sure? STICK [/QUOTE]
