Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this problem. I have my motorised system installed a couple of weekes ago and everything was great ! Until.....
I left the receiver powered on the other night, tuned into a channel and went to bed. Then when i woke up yesterday morning it show "no signal" on the screen.
I have phoned my local installer but he is on holiday till next Tuesday... I was told there isnt anyone else who can help till he gets back.
I powered off the receiver and powered it back on and then took a look at the dish. I noticed that it now moves a degree east then a couple to the west and then just goes backwards and forwards......
Tried changing to a different satellite...but the motor justs swings backwards and forwards.
I've got a Force SCV 516. My local installer installed it with an 80cm dish and a Manhattan HH 120. (Which i understand it Diseqc 1.2).
The reciever has options to "reset lists" and "reset receiver". I've tried reset lists and no joy. I understand the "reset receiver" will start the re-installation wizard so i havent tried this.
Have you any ideas what it could be ? Could the reciever or motor be broke ? Or is it something else ?
PS. I have had to manually programme all of the positions (when it was working). Would it have been better if the installer used a Diseqc 2 motor ? If i need a replacement could you recommend one that can automatically find all the channels and i will let him know.
Many thanks from a sad Bill :-(
