[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 523469, member: 256551"] Hi, The erratic behavior of the dish may be caused by water ingress into the coax, or it has come a little loose. I t would be worth check these. Alternatively, the motor could have become faulty. What kind of motor is it? Does it have separate wires or is it Diseqc.? For a temporary fix you could either by-pass the motor or disconnect it, and mount the dish directly on the pole. Then all you need to do is to go to _www.dishpointer.com to find the azimuth and elevation settings for 28E. Set the appropriate elevation, and gradually swing the dish from side to side until you get a good quality signal on one of the Astra 2D transponders. Consult lyngsat to pick one. You may have to make a few sweeps adjusting the elevation a bit each time, until you have peaked the dish for the best signal. Edit: from your profile I see that it is a Diseqc motor, here is a guide for installing one. [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/90916-setup-guide-diseqc-motor-pictorial.html[/url] Are you using Diseqc1.2 or USALs for setting the dish position?
