[QUOTE="ilking, post: 696087, member: 336442"] The positions are all saved because at first it worked properly. Then after a week it started not turning. The guy I bought the equipment from told me to put petroleum jelly on the f connectors and cables going to the motor and I did so when I installed everything. At first I thought that the petroleum jelly was causing the problem because when I wiped it all off it started working better however it still does not rotate every time. On internet I found that petroleum jelly does not effect electric current so it was not the problem. I still can't figure it out. This is something I do that helps the motor to turn 1. Let's say I'm on hotbird 13 east and i want to go to nilesat 7 west 2. First I switch to a channel on a satellite in between those two, for example on digi 1 west. 3. Then I immediately go to the desired channel on nilesat before the motor turns to digi. This works almost every time. Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem? Thanks a lot for your help. [/QUOTE]
