hello

technomate motor 1mt dish, started to loose my signal recently I fitted the dish about 9years ago I have checked the dish and motor and it was very slightly out of line.

Quote

so took the tele out there and vu box to realign when trying to move the dish (go to zero) sometimes it responds other times no response tuned into 19.2 east 99% signal 85% quality but then the receiver won't move the dish tried another receiver still no success tried another motor same problem I don't seem to be able to get a signal at all (bbc from thor on 0.8west. (bbc news ) my tuner config is A simple usals B switched off so are my settings correct in my box or does my 8way lnb need replacing.

any help appreciated

thanks jcll

Thanks sunlight
That's what I thought and It looks a bit tricky to do with a soldering iron.
any ideas where to purchase these regulators and any links with regard to which one it is and what tools to use.
Thanks

thanks for the reply rupert
I have already replaced 1 capacitor the c807 which usually fixes the problem but on this occasion it hasn't
So i am trying to what other capacitors (if any) to replce or whether to replace the regulators.

Hi Guys
just replaced c807 capacitor but still have red light
Do I need to replace the other 2 capacitors or would it be one of the regulators that
might need replacing.
Thanks

28 east signal problem
watching majority of channels, except ss channels these are showing 98%/99% snr but not locked
in positioner set up.
on screen no data on transponder timeout
any ideas what this problem might be

Can't be the dish lnb or cable or connections as all other sats are ok

It's the settings that are causing the problem,
I have just manually scanned 28.2 and everything now working perfect.
I thought from the outset that the channel lists was the problem, but after trying catseye and vhannibal I did not expect
both channel lists to have the same faults.

Thanks for all your help

done 2 reinstalls still green screens on some channels
so thought it can't be 3 duff images
so changed channel list from catseye to likra now no green screens
something not quite compatible with catseye ans bh 1.7.8
all working fine now

jcll

Thanks MuGa

Yes it does it with the original skin as well
after the green screen it reverts back to the previous channel
I was watching.

Black Hole 1.7.8 Light (No HbbTv)
Hi guys just flashed the above on my duo
put latest catseye settings in there with db edit
I am getting some green screens when changing channels
I have now installed catseye from the bh server but still green screens
here and there.
using eclipse skin. everything appears to be working ok apart from this small
problem. any ideas where I might have gone wrong.

Thanks

Right what I have done is reflashed the vu with the same image BH M/tree.
B/4 doing this I did two factory resets to make sure everything was deleted from the box.
I then flashed the bh m/tree image and sent the channel lists in there with dcc.
I then connected to the network. at this point I checked on the dish with fta channels and everything
was fine with the dish moving to every satellite I asked it to with 1 cable connected to tuner A and set to
simple mode usals. Then i flashed the black shadow skin rebooted the box and the dish was still working ok.
Then I loaded the tspanel and again rebooted, the dish was still working ok. Then in went CCcam 230 and 221
reboot, dish ok. then my config file reboot, dish ok. I then connected my second cable to tuner B from my twin lnb
and set tuner B in the vu menu to second cable from lnb rebooted and the dish was still working ok.
Finally I put a usb in the back of the box and configured crossepg settings to usb/yes/yes/yes/once a day/09.00/yes/no/no.
rebooted the vu tried the dish and it wouldn't move east or west and would not recalculate to 0.
So I then disabled crossepg and guess what the dish was ok again moving to the satellites I told it to
it appears that crossepg and darkmotor do not mix.
Everything is now working fine with the dish working as it should.

I'm using blackshadow 3 myself with no problems buddy,so would rule that out, i know people who are using the superior motor with a duo with no problems at all,both led's flashing and the top led showing which sat you are on.One thing i forgot to tell you is that with the first superior motor i had to get the led lights to work i had to use a different type of f-type connector,sounds unbelieveable but as soon as i changed them the lights came on!

what all f connectors or just the ones at the motor

jcll

Thanks mckee
This is the second motor the first was a supreme this one is a superior.
I have been up on the roof today and tested everything the motor will move with my satlink
meter to all satellites with excellent signals I'm on 30west atm with snr 94% agc 95%.
but still no lights I am not to bothered about the led lights as long as the motor does what it should do.
I have also tested the cables form the receiver end with the meter and everything works perfect.
So there is nothing wrong with dish alignment cables or connections.
I have also tested the vu on another system and it works perfect.
So the only thing I can think of is the vu boxes are not compatible with darkmotors
There is nothing else left to do apart from reflashing the box which I am about to do
I'll let you know what happens.
It couldn't possibly be the skin could it I have black shadow 3 installed.

jcll

It is set on simple for usals I was thinking of trying advanced just to test.
The motor by the way is brand new.
I'll let you know the outcome when I have tested everything tomorrow.

jcll

thanks for the reply cazuela
The main problem is having no led lights lit on the motor.
Tomorrow I will be taking my sat meter and b/4 I flash the box I will connect it
the meter to the motor, if the led lights then come on, the problem is with the vu somewhere.
I will also connect my meter to the receiver end of the cables this should highlight if there are any problems
with connections or cables. then I will try tuner A and B (set to advanced)on a single cable to the motor to make sure both tuners
are ok in the vu . I also have a spare fortec star motor which I could connect to the vu to see if the vu will drive it.
I'll find the problem eventually if I just keep testing everything bit by bit
