[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 124087, member: 177511"] That's a long story - but No. I can see the listings for Thor in the settings but when I try to find it only one transponders shows and it doesn't appear at all in the automatic transponder scan. Well here's what happened at the weekend... I was playing with the dish on Saturday when I lost all the channels - the dish was moving but no channels (signal strength was still between 40% - 60%, worth noting) but no Satellites or Channels. This could happen when the LNB cable from the motor has come loose, a quick check on the dish confirmed this, going full East had pulled the cable out - never done it before. I re-connected the cable, then decided to lengthen it, not a simple job when the dish is above a conservatory! I decided to remove the LNB arm from the dish (easier option) and attached a new, longer, cable. When I put it all back together no power would get to the motor or it had blown. Damn! I attached the meter and the motor sprung back into action. So then I decided it must be the connections I had made on the new cable. When I had stripped the cable I had left the copper shield too far up the core and it was shorting the power. Luckily when I stripped it back on both connections it all worked. Still don't have Thor! Looks like the settings on the USB need to be cleared and reinstalled - but with the vital servers off line I really can't face it! Well you live and learn! [/QUOTE]
