[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 648967, member: 323322"] I've had similar issues to this in the past and traced it to insecure connections at the Motor end. Check both and keep an eye on the one where the LNB cable connects as this tends to slacken with repeated Dish movement - best to fasten it to the mount with a cable tie to stop the connector itself being the pivot. In the latter case, the Motor will move but you'll get No Signal. If the Receiver to Motor connection is not fully secure, then you may get failed or erratic movement. Finally, please tell us how long the cable run is. [/QUOTE]
