dm 8000 motor set up problems

[satpink]

ok using nabilo 0.7 with 1m dish & stab h-h motor set up tuner configaration in dm with correct long & lat etc

using satfinder in dm move dish to 1w motor keep going as far as it can to the east, tried to steer it back with remote, wont move at all, is dm 8000 at fault or stab h-h was working last time i used it, with dm 7025, was a few months ago

tried motor on my 500s same result goes around to 28.2e then stops wont go to any other sats using remote, thinking motor is knacked any recommendations for a cheap reliable usals motor

the best way to set dm 8000 with your dish
go to tuner a press ok to reception setting
config as simple
mode as positions
langtitude find it in yiur area
set as west
latitude find it as well
user power yes
rote put as fast
all the above to set your dish as usuals
dish will automaticly find all the sats no problems
that what i did with mine
works perfict

not sure if its same prob, sounds similar tho

[satpink]

dish moves ok between sats dont seem to lock on to any even though the installer showed me it working fine with a technomate

open your manual book page 59
12.1.5 stab positioner using usals and follow instructions.no need to go to sat finder at all or to lock positions won't work.
i had the same problem and now my 8000 works fine moves from 30 west to 42 east.you need to start with 1 west by setting your dish in 1 west first

this is weird moved dish to 1w then unplugged motor put receiver cable straight into lnb did auto scan found 198 channels, is my motor or lnb sapping too much power from the dreambox, current lnb is a tsg smart universal, feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel

Did you select the option to increase voltage as previously suggested?

"choose advanced settings and selecting "increased voltage" in the setup menu"

[satpink]

this is info on lnb


Titanium 0.2dB single output second edition universal 40mm clamp LNB
This is the new Titanium second edition LNB that is widely praised on many web sites. It has the gold connections
and is very low noise. An ultimate performance LNB. Ideal for situations where the maximum dish size cannot be
increased. This LNB has a high output and so it is also very good for long cable runs, e.g. longer than 35m
In the comparative LNB test in April 08 What Satellite magazine, this LNB performed best of all.

will try the increased voltage if this doesnt work any other suggestions thanks

hi again
you need to go to image setting and download motorize sats all sats will be there. you don't need to do scan at all.then go to 1 west and
setup =service searching= tuner config=then follow instruction i gave you for usual setting

I have same issue.
My DM8000 has original E2 installed on it. How can I go to image settings and download motorize sats?
The installer set my dish at 4.8e.
