Think i've cracked it, as I suspected its the TPS setting in the STB if the tps in the stb setup screen isn't shouting you wont hear it. I put working tps in the edit menu then bingo got a signal. It seems so simple now why dont the manuals tell you this? Can you guys tell me did Fortec mix me a...

Thx for your help got Astra 28E and Hotbird 13E on USALS plus 3 useless channels on Thor 0.8w but still nothing West. I'm going to leave it at that for now, well till the misses thinks i've regained my sanity. Going to keep studying TPS's though I still think it part of the problem. Cheers

O-Ha Insanity looming! O-Ha I’m just about ready to say sod it to a motorised set up unless you guys can tell me where I’m going wrong. I started about 3 weeks ago and very quickly managed to get half a dozen birds from Thor1W to Astra 28E but nothing west. My motor was mounted on a double 90^...

Hi I'm a newbie but have just been fitting this motor to my system, is the green LED lit on the motor, if its orange have you used the motor reset.
