I've just been giving a mate a hand installing a motorised system. We have got it working by first finding thor, and can pick up most sats east of there, but for some reason the diseqc H-H motor wont move west from thor. Why? It's probably something obvious, but I can't think what. Any ideas?
It's got dark on us now so given up for the night.
Thanks.

I presume you mean via the receiver? I tried reseting limits, but turning limits off sounds worth a try. Will ring my mate up later and talk him through doing that. I'll report back.
Thanks.

Satcat,
It can only be the limits sets through the receiver....
If not. I would eat my Hat!!!! (If I had one)

I've had the same problem and resetting the limits sorted it.
