I'm in Oklahoma about 5 miles from Arkansas line. (More towards south)
I got this 8' dish from a guy that lives in the same town. He couldn't remember what he done with his receiver.
I had a
c-band a few years ago and still had a pole in the ground.
I mounted the c-band on the pole and hook to the mercuryII before I got the vbox2. It was almost all the way in (west position). I swung the bird until I got signal, and was verfied that I was on Horz satellite. I never move the arm either way until I got the
vbox. When I got the vbox2 I moved it (the dish) almost all the way east and almost all the way west making sure I didn't go to the end either way. I done this about eight times or so (with out the coax being hooked up to the vbox), then I started looking for my south bird which is 95. I hit 95 no problem I check horz. it was still there, so I went back to 95, then moved everything inside the house. This time I hooked up the coax to the vbox2 with ird positioner set to none and no limits. I first program 95 at P30 the only thing I programmed into the vbox. I already scaned for c-band channels. I then made a 95 ku and scaned and got channels. Some was not in very good so I started moving the dish west with vbox remote they started coming in more clear. So I decided to go a little more west, then decided to go back east. Throws up ERR2 for east movement. Tried going west, it moves west everytime. I swapped motor wire, hit west to go east get ERR2, hit east to go west, moves west. Change cables back. Even tried to swap the two small wires no different.
I tried reset a couple of times, no luck. I tried tell the mercury2 that I had diseqc 1.2 (mercury2 still no limits, and vbox2 no limits set, didn't change any limits on dish). I'm not sure if
actuator isn't slipping.
I will try the battery when I get home.
One question, by swapping the wires should it go either direction?
Thanks for the help..
