Well, the problem is not new. The very few instances I noticed this anomaly, I got the impression this would happen whenever I got to 125 w (93 w is my true south sat). The box would freeze upon zapping through the channels on that bird, and the motor would no longer operate automatically. Since then, upon some recommendation from some friends here, I deleted the unnecessary TPs on 125, and the freezing issue seemed to have disappeared - although I am always reticent in driving the motor that far west if I am not planning an immediate trip to the roof shortly thereafter. Recently, I have added an 8-footer to my setup, and to operate both dishes I installed a A/B type witch by the receiver, so I could toggle between C and KU with a touch of a button and not having to reach to the back of the receiver and play the unplug-plug game. I've noticed that when I switch back from C-band to KU, (particularly if the C-band connection has been established for a long time) the image on the ku side does not come in at all, even though it's aiming at the right sat, and the right channel is selected. In these cases, the signal strength is abnormally low, and Q, nonexistent. I reboot the unit, and image comes right back, but the motor no longer moves with USALS. There are other occasions, however, that I need to reset without any signal input switching. The last time this happened was when I decided to watch tv off of 72 w. Got there alright, but never came back on its own. (I did notice I lost color halfway through the show I was watching, and had to do a power cycling to restore it). It looks like it does not like sats far from the center… I don't mind quick trips to the roof occasionally, but every couple of days seems to be excessive.
