I am about to throw my fortec passion through the window,it will not remember positions and keeps steering dish way past where it should be.works on odd occasions then goes loopy even though it might have hit satellite perfect a few minutes previous.downloaded all latest software and done reset,it even misses position with only 2 satellites installed.any suggestions other than big hammer?

Did it ever work?

Are you using USALS or Diseqc1.2?

yes it worked ok first couple of weeks with disque2.Seems to have had problems since loading new software from Fortec and there about as helpful as a chocolate fireguard.

Have you tried resetting the motor, and control system?

Does it work with USALS?
