Two big problems - please help.

I have just asked this F4 Turbo receiver to point at 54.9east, it did and reported on the screen "no signal" although the sat finder I have in line bleeps nice and strong.
I swapped receiver for an Openbox V8s, it found the satellite and found the signal and I watched a film on it.

I went back to the F4 turbo and the same again, no signal. I went to look at other satellites and it refuses to move the dish yet again.

Switched it off at the mains for about ten minutes. Fitted a new coax cable and a totally different motor just to get the exact same result.
Sorry but I'm going to have to send this back.

Remove the sat finder and connect the coax direct to the receiver. This is whats most likely causing your signal issue.

Do you really think that I wouldn't have done this?

Yes I have done that and just the same result. The only reason that I used the Sat finder was to tell me if the receiver was turning the dish spot on. It is, it's just not tuning in to any thing that's not around Astra 28.2east. I keep asking it to tune in to satellites and then it freezes up.

I'd ref-flash OpenViX and setup new. Setup the tuner on USALS.

Install Vhannibals motorised channel list from Online plugin feeds. Menu > Plugins > Press Green to Download > Settings > Vhannibals motorised.

Connect the motor by the receiver on a temp coax lead.

Now try changing channels and satellites via the installed channel list. If the motors moves ok then the issue lies elsewhere and not with the receiver.

Reboot the receiver if you disconnect the coax with the motor whilst powered on.

I have a F4 Turbo setup here with Diseqc motor and no issues at all.
