ProgDVB Nexus Reset

[Missey]

ProgDVB,SG2100, Athlon 2400

About once a week I have to put put the SG2100 back to zero using the manual button and then re-set the motor using the re-set button. I used to program every thing from scratch, ProgDVB,DiseqcU,sat positions,ect, once a week but I soon found out all I had to do was put the motro back to zero and hit the re-set and every thing was ok for another week or so. I discovered that when the motor will not move on a channel change I can go into ProgDVB and use the positioner option and move the motor that way but in the end I still have to put the motor back to zero and hit reset. I have tried to fix this for the last 8 or 9 months, have read a lot of post's but never found an answer yet. If any one out there has a fix for this I would appricate some feed back.Here on the east coast of Canada in Nova Scotia is a good location, I am able to see sats all the way from Hispast 30.o W to Eco 121.0 W. I just joined this site today an this is my first post.Missey

Hi Missey, welcome to our forum.

I'm afraid I'm a little out of practice on the PC Cards, but will move this to that section, as that's where you are most likely to get some help.

Is it doing the same thing with different viewers (MyTheatre etc) have you tried to install a later ver of ProgDvb and tried that ?
If you are able to move the motor manually then it sounds like the commands are not reaching the motor correctly. Sorry to state the obvious but got to start somewhere .

I some time use Ritz or MyTheatre to view t/v but I have never programed either one to move the motor. I thought no sense having to many software's on my computer to do the same job may cause a conflict. I have tried Prog 4.38 and 4.40 but right now I am using 4.26 and 4.48 to move the motor.When I switch to a different channel after a few days or so the Sg2100 will not rotate so what I have been doing is, disable the refresh channel if signal lost option and then , going out to the motor and rotating it back to zero using the manual button on the motor and then re-set it using the re-set button on the motor or, I can move it east or west about 20 deg or so using the positon option in progdvb diseqc set up. When I say I can't move it manualy I mean it will not move manualy using Diseqcu. options --Go To Angular Position or Go To Selected sat. After I use either one of the above methods It works fine for a few days then I do it all over again. Warm or cold weather dosen't seem to make any difference. I was going to take it a part and see what kind of lub they use at the factory but it seems like a weak battery in an old car, now and again it needs a little extra bost to get it going in the morning. I have twin cables about 65 ft long running through pvc conduit under ground out to the dish. last fall I changed both cables but it did not make a difference.Thanks for post, Missey.

I had some problems with an SG-2100 last year that had loose coax jacks on the motor and it was very unstable I replaced it with a warranty item.. but dont have much faith in SG-2100 and DVB card,seems lot of problems not had with a regular receiver/motor setup.
