Hi,
I've got a motorised dish setup at my fathers house which we installed several years ago. It's a 1.4m dish with a Superior DarkMotor (Alsat).
He's had it on 19.2 for this past while but had wanted to change to another satellite to watch this weekends F1 on FTA but he said that the dish isn't turning.
I went round to check it out and indeed the dish isn't turning, I have checked all settings on his VU box and also tried a different box which I kept as a backup just in case. The strange thing is the signal's still coming in on 19.2 but just not turning the motor. I've tried a hard reset, checked the signal and cable etc with our Horizon meter and all seems to be grand. The motor has manual buttons to drive the motor each way manually but it doesn't turn nor can i hear any noise from it, the LED just blinks on the motor in the direction that i've tried to turn which doesn't stop until i pull the power on the box again.
Would anyone have any advice on what I can try to sort it as I was hoping that I won't have to change the existing motor?
Many thanks in advance
