I have a 1.8 metre dish with a DiSEqC1.2 Stab USALS motor connected to a Techomate 5300D+ receiver. With a rush of blood to the head I tried to add a the sat Nilesat 7.0W to my satellite list (which ranges from Thor 1.0W to Astra 28.2E) and in doing so I have lost my Arabsat 26E signal. I...

Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Thanks. In that case I'll source LBC from the net.

Is there anywhere in London where I can just buy a subscription card for LBCi or LBC Europe on Hotbird 13?

Got the installer to replace the motor and evverything's now fine! Yes!

Yes I could, I could get Thor 1W and Turksat. I never tried to get Hispasat

By due process of elimination I'm sure there's been a lose connection or water has got into the coaxial cable or something. It's a motor problem. So I have the installer comming to fix it tomorrow. Just want to say thanks for your patience and advice and talking me through the process - cos...

I can't get my motor to move. I'll call the installer and get him to manually fix it. (and he took the boxes with him, I live on the first floor flat so I can't see the type of motor on the sat dish) edit: these should be the transponders on Badr 3/4 Arabsat 26E but I don't have them on mine...

Good afternoon everybody! Thanks Pedro, I'll try that right now and if I can't get anywhere I've got the installer comming round tomorrow to have a look at it. edit: And thanks for the info on LBC edit: just tried selecting the satellite and transponder 12130V 27500 (it was transponder number...

sod it, I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback guys really really appreciate it.

Pedro, thanks. So Rolf, what do I do now? I mean how do I go from 4.8E to 26E to select Arabsat? How do I know if I haven't overshot? There's no feedback or arc that I can see.

That's what it says. 00.0W and 51.5N so do I select it and then chose "Goto Reference"? edit: seriously I had all the channels and satellites until I started fiddling about with teh menus, Now I have nothing. So what do I need to do? Please. I daren't second guess.

OK this is very odd indeed. I scanned the Sirius 4.8E satellite and got the same channels that I got when I tried to scan the Arabsat 26E earlier. Does that mean my satellite arc is not correctly set up?

Thanks, will do..... edit: I did a factory reset. Pressed MENU and couldn't find Sirius 5, just Sirus 4.8E (is that the same?) Plus I only see DiSEqC 1.0 and 1.2 not DiseqC 1.2 (if that's in the motorised settings do I have to select a satellite first as I can't access that menu until I do)

Thanks, will do. And thanks for all the help and feedback too. really really appreciate it. edit: Just did that. But keep getting 5East when I wanted 26E. Weird thing was that I had 26E this morning so the satellite was set properly. I'll try again.
