Hi all. Just had my install done on a motorized sat. All was working fine for a day then the problem started. When i move from satellite to satellite sometimes the motor will send the dish straight over to the east limit. Iam using a Protek 9760hd ip with a vbox2.
Ive done a reset on the box & checked all the wiring. Iam thinking it could be a fault with the vbox.
Thanks.
Rich

Update on the problem is the vbox2 had a internal fault. replaced it & now all is good.

Hey Rich, how come you are not using your 1.5m dish? What's the performance difference between the 1.2m CM and your 1.5m PF?
