Hi, i usually recieve these satellites, but a few weeks ago, i had to move from 13E to Astra 19E to make the signal on 16E work as it did before. (if i just went from 13E to 16E it wouldnt work - no signal). But now if even 19E isnt working any more and neither is 16E i dont know why. 1W and Hotbird 13E seem to be woroking thank God, but last week i experienced some signal problems with 13E as well.

Anyone know what i can do to fix the problem??

Thanks alot

Do you have a 'go to X (or zero) option. Try doing that if you do. It sends your motor back to it's reference point. If not you may have to nudge to you due south sat and store your sat positions again. Usals is quickest and easiest method.

if i do this, what exactly will it delete? i mean what settings will go? im worried about doing something i wont be able to fix!

All the 'go to x' does is send the motor back to it's reference point and then tell it that it is at zero. It is useful if the motor has screwed up and lost its position.
This command does not affect any of your stored positions or receiver settings.

Thanks, but i cannot find this 'go to X' option on the reciever?

which menu is it usually stored in?

Hi sigooner,
I notice in your profile that you have an Echostar receiver but I am not familiar with the model number, can you please describe the menu, or post some pictures.
Can you also please post more details regarding your motor.
If you go into the receivers menu do you have a hammer symbol?

hi,im not really sure on the motor details, i have no idea. also, ive never seen any hammer symbol on the menu. its a bit difficult to explain but the menu has options such as program satellites, advanced installation, amongst others, is this what you mean? is there anything in particular you want me to look for?

thanks alot for help
