- My Satellite Setup
- Motorised 80cm dish with Dreambox 7020 + Sky HD

Hello people, I have recently invested in a Dreambox 600 and a motorised dish, Ive had the dish professionally installed by a reputable local company but am having alot of trouble and am now thinking the dreambox could be at fault, it does not seem to be moving my dish correctly, Ive had the installers back to check the setup and he insists that the dish and motor are working fine. The dreambox seems to be intermitantly moving the dish, it seems to have a mind of its own and its very frustrating. After a fresh flash it seems to work for awhile, then it will stop moving the dish, its very strange and Im finding it hard to figure out a pattern, last night for instance I picked up thor at 1.0 west and from there swang round further to the west and picked up most satellites up till about 30.0 west, I then came round to the east and picked up13.0 east, 16.0 east, 19.2, east, 28.0 east and right up to turksat at 42.0 east. Shortly after this I tried to come back from turksat to hotbird and that was it, no more movement at all, the box seemed quite warm even though it is in a well ventaleted area, even so I removed the hard drive and left it overnight. This morning it still would not move the dish at all, so I hooked up another system I have here, got the dish back to due south, and then proceeded to reflash the box with the latest gemini image, sure enough it has now started working again, although it cant seem to find some of the satellites that I was picking up fine last night?? Its very confusing and any help or advice would be apreciated.
