after haveing so many problems with getting those satellites in the memory now have 20. all working. fine the dish going round to the desired satellite... then friday found the damm thing wont go round to the desired satellite remotetly at all to any ofthe satellites. the only thing i have not done was not to download the latest updates/ latest software says april 08. but didnot download the latest to the reciever through the pc updates for technomate. so how do i sort the probelms out. i tried offcourse reinstalling the satellites position in the meory still wont go round

Most likely that F connector has come loose or summat like that.

if it was the F connector was loose it would not work anyway no ones touched it since i got it. maybe water gone in then again the connections outside are sealed. and i think its a software issue. it appears i am not the only guy to have this problem. (only had it a week|) in manual mode on setup motorised it works fine. i assume its gone in the memory maybe thats the problem the memory on save! is not working properly but works fine when saveing the channels. its a weird one. was suggested the system itself motor/elcctronice is poor quality. esp as i got the system installed cheap. considering whats involved the TM6900 costs £280 i got the whole thing for £445. installation. dish/motor /cable etc.. and its all technomate stuff.

Sorry, I thought the motor was not moving at all; if it is moving initially and then stalling on a particular satellite then I don't have any experience with that. It may be something to do with the receiver or the motor itself. Hopefully, someone more clued up will come along to give further insight.
