[QUOTE="Simba27, post: 59407, member: 182734"] I'm having a problem with my motor and it's really driving me nuts. I get it lined up nicely and store all the satellites I can find. I usually get 70%+ signal quality. But it seems to go out of alignment. After a few hours, or sometimes even minutes, I'll select a satellite and get nothing but a blank screen. Then I have to jog it a couple of steps one way or the other to get the signal back. Then I store the new position and it's alright for a while, but after a few hours it's gone again. I called the Metronic helpline and got through to a guy in France who told me it was probably the wind, and that I should tighten the bolts a bit more. But the bolts are tight and we haven't had much wind lately. There doesn't seem to be any play in the motor or the dish. Is this a fault with the motor? Do all cheap motors to do this? Should I try and live with it, ask them to replace it, or see if I can get a refund and buy a better one? Phil. [/QUOTE]
