[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 829772, member: 325666"] You say the motor drives ok ..when mounted on the pole ? So what happens if you drive ..or manually position the dish/motor assembly to a known good sat position ...say your due south sat ..and then connect the openbox directly to the lnb ..bypassing the motor ..which was previously aligned before the motor bypass was done .. Do you get a signal then ? If the motor is simply placed in line in the house and does not restrict signal from Astra at 28 deg ..on a fixed setup then It cannot be faulty and restricting or blocking signal.. Do remember the signal from your due south sat is considerably weaker than 28 East ..so requires much more accurate alignment.. An android app is fine for getting a rough position ..but is little more than guesswork on weaker sats .. You need a meter ...even a very basic one to align properly. I suspect this is your problem..and you are expecting it to be as easy to set up as Astra28..and it wont be.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
