[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 5899, member: 175144"] If the dish is creeping (or moving closer to one limit each time) then i would agree that the reedswitch is most likely to have a problem. However two other causes are possible 1) the magnet on the wheel has been damaged and the poles of force (either four or eight ) are not causing the reed switch to count the same number of pulses when turning both ways- changing the wheel, or moving it closer to the rees switch may help 2) The 4375 does have some problems specific to movement and position of the limits. Please look at the version number of software in the system profile. If its 1.0 then it should be upgraded using the latest available on their website. Your friendly dealer that sold it to you should be able to help FOC if its within warranty. Even so there are times when the receiver will move the dish outside the electronic limits so you MUST ensure you do not press the re-align function unless you are sure the mechanical limits are set and work - it will be expensive otherwise Let me know the outcome [/QUOTE]
