Motor not getting every thing

[deltec]

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

[cactikid]

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?

I am sure it’s the motor over counting I’ve ordered a new one thanks guys

I can get 4.9 to 42 east ok evert thing between them ok but 1 can’t get bull sat at 39 east I think it’s the motors counter that is ring not counting right I shall see thanks for ur help

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 can’t get bbc earth viosat history viosat nature and some times Tv 1000

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?

LOL, I've been installing these for 20 years and have never seen one that counts wrong to one satellite. 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.

Could give me an example of screen grabs u want me to send
