Default Motor wont move!!!

Well, after a coupe of days its all gone wrong!

I have tried to change channels from one sat to another and the screen says 'moving to' with the green progress bar but the motor isnt moving!!!

Any ideas what it could be?

A setting somewhere perhaps?

I have tried going to and from stand by and a hard reset with the power button on the back of the reciever but no luck.

It moves ok if i go into motor settings and move it 'manually' but wont do it auto!

Just when i was getting the hang of it too.

Any help once again much appreciated!

Sound like its lost its satellite settings or the DISEqC settings are wrong.

Have you tried resetting the sat points

In all honesty before we can help you any further mate we need to know what receiver and Motor you are using mate

Sorry, forgot that bit!

TM1500CI+super and Moteck 1.2 motor.

Was working fine when i got in.

I did however, filter through the hotbird sat and deleted a few channels but thats it.

Went to move to 19.2 to do the same and nothing would happen.

It wont move to any sat at all.

I did manage to move to 19.2 manually.

Cheers!
Jason.

PS plain english please

Hi, Can you post a screenshot of your motorised setting for 19.2E?
( Don't use the flash on the camera :roflmao

It might help to work out what's wrong, it might not.

Sounds to me like it's 'lost' all the motorised settings for whatever reason :?

If thats the case then you'll have to set them up manually if using DiSEqC 1.2, or enter you're details in the USALS settings and let it do it for you.

Personally I would use DiSEqC, as I'm led to believe that USALS isn't as accurate as it could be

On the bottom screen (motorized setting) select 'save' and that will save that sat in that position. Then go to the top (where it says 19.2E now) and change that to 13E, then move the dish west until you get a strong signal on 13E and save again. Repeat this on every sat that you want to save, a bit of a pain I know but worth it in the end
