Only me...
I still have a problem with my motor.
Description:
I have Gemini 2.4 setup. When I try to move the dish (motor setup > drive to zero) the light green light goes out (it might move 1 time in 12). If I disconnect the coax cable (it is satellite not tv coax) and reconnect the light on the motor comes back on. "drive to zero" or selecting any other sat = light goes out.
The problem appeared about 2 weeks ago, when I was running Gemini 1.08. Nothing else I know of has changed (it's the unknown factor that I need to establish ;) ).
I have checked the voltage coming out of the dreambox and is it >15v.
Is this a motor problem or a DisEq problem? I tried a factory reset (wiped out my stored sats) and the problem remained. I even tried to follow the Klona guide to "Tuning" in transponders but found that a bit light on detail. How does the receiver tell the motor to move? Does it modulate the voltage in some way?
I read this post today:

- is it related?
Any enlightened ideas or suggestions from the Dreambox flock?
Thanks
and no, I don't have a spare motor to try ;)
