lost signal

Hi guys. 2 days ago, I was able to get PAS9 KU, and AMC6 Ku, I was even able to get 2 channels from Nauel1( the latin american beam). I live in Houston, TX. I have a 90cm dish, and a fortec ultra,a HH90 motor, and a invocom LNBF. Now, I am not able to get any channel from PAS9, or AMC6. I am able to get all the other sattelites(IA5, G10, SBS6, G13, etc.) with a very strong signal quality.I even marked the dish and the pole that it is mounted on when I installed the motor , so I know the motor was not moved. I thought that I had a problem with the Diseque switch, so I connected the KU dish directly to the Fortec ultra, and still not getting a signal from these two sattelites. Please forgive me for this long explanation, but I had to cover every thing so you guys can analize the problem. Please let me know if you guys are having problems with PAS9 KU and AMC6KU? Thank you.

Re: lost signal

Have you tried to "nudge" to motor for these 2 sats? Both come in strong for me in N.California

Hi Michael , thanks for your reply. Yes I tried to skew the motor east and west, and I still do not get anything. I think there is a problem with the reciever. I even reloaded the firmware, but still no result. I will wait for the next firmware to be released by fortec, it might solve this problem.

I think that the HH motor has shifted a little bit. So I will go and physically move it just a hair and see if I can get these sattelites back.

Hi guys, I got back all the sattelites. Just as I thought, the HH90 has shifted off course . So I loosned the screws and moved it just a hair, and it did the trick. :P
