disconnect motor from cable.may be easier to take cable off at box,then press and hold both east and west buttons on motor for 5 seconds,then reconnect motor leds1 and led2 blinkfor 5 seconds then the memory erased the receiver rewrites the satellite table to inital one andcorrects the "0"

other possible faults dish too large or too heavy,poor quality coax,or recr has not enough power to move dish.lat and long needs resetting after a software update,east west limits need reset ....is there a joint in the cable.?

there should be a menu option on the spiderbox to reset the motor and remove any east/west limits
