[QUOTE="TV_From_The_Sky, post: 494475, member: 188860"] So I got the replacement motor, exactly the same but a different name. Tested it out before climbing out onto roof all ok. Double checked pole, etc. Tried Thor 0.8w but couldn't get any channels. Next I moved the dish to Hotbird and picked up Astra 1 (opps a few degrees off me thinks). Quick trip up onto roof and now I have Astra 1, Hotbird. Tried to get Astra 2 for the FTA stuff, no joy at all. Signal 31%, Quality 1%. Thought my arc might be a bit off? But heres the rub. If I choose Astra 3, it pulls in all the Astra 2 channels. Is this more likely to be an error in the USALS software, in that the receiver has calculated the wrong place for Astra 2 and see it as Astra 3? Weird. I'm happy as I can pull in the 3 main ones I wanted. Any other good FTA sats? had a look at some of the Eutelsat ones [/QUOTE]
