bit more info needed how are you trying to get past 42E by the "move"function or by sat selection? try and get 53E,menu>satellite setup>ok,ok scroll to 53E and yellow button "save".exit to motorised settings and drop to goto and scan once motor stops. 11.044V 44.951 will pick up a few russian channels.if you cant scan any channels in on either 53E or45E they will not show up on the sat button.
does it go to the far West ok?

Hi. Also are you using USALS or DISECQ(1.2). ? If using 1.2 remember that the satellite will need to be found and stored otherwise the dish will not move. With USALS the dish will always move to a satellite.

Well to be honest if you get between 53E and 30W ok I wouldnt bother about trying to get further East theres not much there and your line of sight must be getting dodgy by then.

Hi. A strange one this problem. Usually when you are using USALS and you send it to any satellite from the motor menu
it should go to that satellite unless you have put limits on EAST or WEST movements. I think that when you reach a llimit you will get a message saying so. Another thing that you can try is send the motor to your last satellite ie 53 EAST. Make sure that you have an active channel and then try to move the motor manually by pressing the blue button (FINE TUNING) and move it EAST slowly. If the picture fades away then the motor is moving further EAST. Like i said USALS will always go to a satellite unless you have limits set either on the motor itself or your receiver. Good luck.
