"Out of range" past 57e

  • My Dark motor, motorised dish only turns as far as 57 degrees east.
    When I try tuning further to the east my Openbox V8S shows the message "Out of range", the dish doesn't even try to turn.


    Do you think this is a Dark motor, or Openbox issue?


    I know there are a few more satellites further to the east, but are they worth looking at?



    Thanks for your help guys.
