Dreambox Motorised system problem

[rankine]

Hi all,
I have been having a prob for some considerable time getting my system to work. I have had an engineer here so many times for many months. He sets dish to Thor and gets a clear image, but when he moves satellite , nothing, tries to go back to Thor and it is lost. he has been trying so many times that I suspect that the dreambox is faulty. I may have to take it to a shop, ask them to test it before I have top buy a new box. I posted a similar item way last year and appreciate the help given, but all worked fine for a few weeks, then the same loss of pictures began again. Any help would be appreciated as there are not many engineers where I live who know about motorised systems

what kind of dish set up you got .

there's a possibility its a motor problem , if a actuator it could be seizing up .

when that starts to happen they do not return to the set position.

you started using it ,it then free's off .

just something for you to test first , another receiver plugged in would confirm it .

Hi, thanks, the guy who has tried to fix the fault over a number of months brought another receiver, but he still couldn't fix it.
I have fitted a new motor recently, so down to the receiver I think.I have a 1 metre dish, motorised to a Dream Box

so you have tried 2 receivers and the faults the same ?

cant see a 3rd one making any difference.

when you say motor what type, cable direct to it or do you have a v box to power it.

Thank you, I have a Technomate Diseqc HH motor direct cable from the motor to the Dream Box, does this info help?

Thanks again

Hi there,
Dreamboxes and TM motors dont always see eye to eye. I certainly had that problem with a new TM motor and therefore changed the motor.Perhaps you have already faced this problem? Cheers - Brain

Hi all,
I took my ox to the shop, tested it and seem to be working fine.
I asked if they would be willing to come to fix the problem There has been a lot of talking, but no definite agreement to come here
