I’ve got an old technomate motor and it seems to be over counting a satellite on the east ie 39 bullsat and I’m not getting all the programs any one else having the same problem

Is it locking onto that sat with a good signal
Might channels have moved as you could check Kingofsat for recent moves.
Bad weather effect on signal quality.

What channels did you want to receive from bulsat? Are you Bulgarian?

The way i am looking at that if it was a motor or alignment issue would others not also have an issue landing on.

If you are getting all the other sats, then the motor is working properly. If it's only 39E giving you the problem, then it may be a slight dish alignment issue. Couple of questions:

1. Are you using USALS or have you set the satellite positions in numbered positions in the motor?
2. What channels can you receive at 39E and which are not coming in?

I’m sure the dish is not counting. The satellites right the dish still moves we have aligned the dish a few times some thing is ring

Satellite position in menu fine movement it finds 39 east no problem we have used a satellite meter to check the satellites did a few weeks a go every thing was ok and hen now it gone again it got to be the motor counting rong

Ok - you seem to be saying that you know what is wrong. Just makes no sense to me that the motor stops correctly on all the other satellite positions, but not on 39E. You also won't say what channels you are and aren't receiving on that satellite. Best of luck with your fault-finding.

I no what u are saying that I can get all the other satellites even turksat but when I scan 39 east it will not pick up every thing the engineer says it’s the motor I’ve got a new one we shall see if it is that

I can receive those channels on various transponders from 39E at good signal levels, but they are all encrypted of course. I presume you have a subscription card for them? Maybe that's the issue?

And anyway it is not moving to a satellite, it is moving to an angular position if it has been set up correctly (USALS).

Please post screengrabs of your tuner setup for 28E and 39E.
