    motor doing my head in ( faulty maybe)?

    hi all
    ive had the day from hell today fitting a system with tm2300 motor ,
    done what i always do brackets is plum all around
    set lat and long to what they should be ,
    problem is the motor just moves a tiny bit then goes back to zero , ive reset the motor , but then when i sent it to zero it went to 30.5 e then tryed again and went to 50.5 west
    also when ive entered the lat ang long in usals it says press green button to save but nothing happens using a tm500 linux stb
    i can find all the sats manully ( with sat meter ) but motor is playing up any ideas people

    If you are finding them ok on the meter the problem seems to
    lie at the box end....why dont you try diseqc 1.2 to move the
    dish and store them manually,which is my prefered option,ok it takes longer but is Far more acurate than usals...

        if you cant find the sats on your box but get a signal on your meter you may be looking at the wrong or a week transponder try turning to 1 w and locking on bbc 1w west is not 1 degre west of magnetic south it 1 degre west of trure south
