I'm having problems getting my positioner to work properly. I am entering the coordinates as follows lat 36.XXX lon 081.xxx and the positioner s moved to past my center set point of 87W. It will not move the motor to any other position than that. I'm using OpenAtv 7.5.1. The motor is OK, I can move it fine with my meter
Any suggestions appreciated!

After updating U Boot file it no longer attempts to boot up. Most likely I'll have to try J Tag for the boot loader file. But I'm not sure the receiver is worth the effort, it is getting dated. I liked the network record so I could keep everything in one place but I'll learn to search drives when I need a program LOL.
Thanks for taking the time to offer suggestions on this fiasco!

Thank you for the u boot file. I am downloading as I type this. I have plenty of electronics experience in communications-related fields, but I haven't done this type of work in years and the methods are slow to come back to me. Thanks for taking the time to help!
After changing the start address I now get a timeout error when I try to reload the E2 image. This doesn't happen when loading a Spark rescue image but none the less the Spark side of my A2 does not boot either. They both hang on "boot" occasionally E2 will boot to what is supposed to be the time display.
Is this a lost cause and a good door stop or can I recover it somehow? I'm open to suggestions here :)

I neglected to make mention that this error is when booting E2 Neither Spark or E2 will complete the boot process. U boot file has been updated to 1.31 Should I reflash this as well?

I scrounged up enough connectors to make a RS232 cable and was able to get into the STB but that was about as far as I could get. I could not get the Cisco utility to allow me to upload and files. I have attached what I managed to get so far.
Thanks for any suggestions
I have a Alien 2 that was fouled up by a power glitch ( rapidly off and on ) It displays "BOOT" and will not go further. If I force a boot that part shows "Success" but from there on it just displays boot. I haven't built a RS232 cable yet as that may be what I end up having to do,but where can I locate 1.2.51 E2 ? I have tried the rescue image and it does the same as all the rest.
Thanks for any help
