Job done, Moved elevation on both dish and motor all seems to work, haven't went further than 1w but then only interested in 19/13/28e anyway

Ok after another day flashing and faffing about with the receiver we are finally working again. So sent the receiver via usals to 28.e full signal, sent to 19e strong, 13e nothing, so obviously veering of somewhere, haven't been out at the dish to tinker yet though

Replaced LNB with a brand new Inverto, Same result, as soon as you go onto a TV the receiver locks up, Has to be receiver.

Ok, this morning, changed all Fplugs, reset motor, reset receiver, entered coordinates in USALS, selected Astra 2, drove there no problems signal and quality both over 80%, did a scan, found all it could, exited to view channel, remote unresponsive, 10 seconds later freeze. Think the box is fooked.

The dish and LNB were up for as a fixed system for about 6 months, all connected to the same receiver, the addition was the motor. I will redo my F Plugs and reset the motor today and see what happens.

Had the day off, weather was decent so was a perfect opportunity to install a dish I have intended to get up for a while. 80cm Dish on a TM 2600 motor powered by my Openbox V5S I have installed a couple of motorised set ups before so not a total newbie but have been at this all day and am...

Sticking a motor on a Z2 mini dish for a friend, I checked the mount today and odly is perfectly level, they are only looking 13e/19e/28e, would the little mini dish pole mount be up to holding a motor? they are rather heavy, would be handier for me rather than have to replace all.

I think the house next door blocks out from around 5e to 12.5w, obviously I could go up and put it on the chimney but not the confident at that height, there is around a 20-30ft gap between our house and the next, not sure if that distance would be enough to get a clear view, the dish would be...

What type of bracket do I need? I have a fortec dish and the vast majority of brackets are for Triax dishes.

I've got and 80cm dish and Open Box receiver, I want to receive 13&19e along with Astra 2, So I was thinking of a monoblock for 13&19 and another LNB for 28, so would something like ebay item number: 250812996018 be what I need, and then what about combining the 2 cables into 1? Please do not...

I am having issues, Got hotbird fine 87% quality, But moved the other side and can not get Astra, If I pull the lnb holder out until its almost ready to fall out there is astra only at 71 quality. What am I doing wrong?

6' for A1 & HB

I have an old 65 x 72cm Fortec dish, Firstly will this fit ok on one of the Sky dish mounts? Now down to the monoblock, what exactly do I do? I am also using a Technomate 3100 receiver. I have heard a monoblock will only work on an 80cm dish, Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

It goes from 30w around to 42e so I get everything I want

The wires are actually taped to the shaft of the motor so they can't hit anything nor is it tight enough for them to pull out.
