Anyone with a Spiderbox motorised system using a TM motor? If so do you have any problems?
I set mine up on USALS with correct Lat & Lon entered, then changed to DiSEqC and saved all Sats and all worked perfectly. Now, a few months later after tweaking it now and then, I am 10 steps East of where it was. This has happened before and I assumed that the dish had moved round on the poll, but it hadn't. I think on that occasionn I reset the motor (on the motor) and all was ok again, but over time it has crept East again. It's no great problem but I just wondered if there is a compatibility issue here.

The motor connected to my Spiderbox 9000HD for the last twelve months is a TM2300 and haven't experienced any problem with creeping at all to date , I am at the moment due to the weak signall on 16east. using DiSEqc allthough I have used USALS in the past with both the Spiderbox and previous to that with my TM 6900HD.
