Default Motor not driving East

I finally set my motorised dish up after having a lot of problems dong so. I was looking in the menus and changed something i probably shouldnt have lol.Anyway i lost all my channels so i decided to do a reset on the box, which is a TM5400 usb.
I still couldn't get any channels for some reason, so i got back up the ladder and moved the dish up and down untill ilocked onto thor.Now when i move to any satellite west it moves to that sat but when i drive the motor back east it only goes as far as thor. If i'm on thor and choose a sat east the actual dish wont move, the receiver shows the dish as moving but it doesn't. Any one any idea what's happening.

Check your East West limits on your receiver and motor.
What motor have you got?
Try the sticky threads for setting up a motorized dish, they should help you.
