[QUOTE="Kingman, post: 367743, member: 186981"] Hi All, I need your help. The recent high winds must have upset my dish because I have lost the ability to go to satellites based on their stored positions. Everything looks OK on the roof, but I guess just a small movement can cause problems. I have been trying to resolve without climbing on the roof (scared of heights and crap at DIY). Going through the Motor Setup menus on my Dreambox 7000s I am able to find individual satellites by moving the dish from East to West. I can then store the satelites in a set position. However when I then move on to find the next satellite, I can not get back to the stored position of the previous one. It is as if the motor does not know its position 0 or where 0% is. Any ideas if this can be fixed at the Dreambox end or whether I need to call out an engineer to reposition the dish. I would appreciate your help Thanks Kingman PS I have DB7000s and a motorised dish. I am after Astra and Hotbird only [/QUOTE]
