ADVERTS 1
Changing LNB's or LNB settings will not cause a receiver's actuator to go out of control. Something else happened that was not related to the LNB.

Agreed,changing the lnb would not make the 'bits and bytes' go nuts.Something on the OP's actions did.My best bet would be no limits set and the motor went to far causing the dreaded FLOP.

There is another possible diagnosis.
The actuator is controlled via relay, correct?
Ever had a relay stick?
Not that I know that's what caused this, but it is possible, and that's just my $0.02.

I was basing my thought on this. Originally Posted by Desertnight

Limits were set on the 922, but the mechanical limits at the dish were not due to the fact that a so-called satellite technician said don't do it for whatever reason that was several years ago.Agreed,changing the lnb would not make the 'bits and bytes' go nuts.Something on the OP's actions did.My best bet would be no limits set and the motor went to far causing the dreaded FLOP.
The chain broke when the dish crashed into the pole mount. The actuator/motor kept pulling and pushing til the chain snapped....ping!the power source was removed. sounds like chain broke somehow.
True. Unit had to be unplugged from the wall to stop the monster.Power wasn't disconnected, just the unit turned off, which wouldn't, necessarily, power down the actuator.
I ended up having to do a master reset because the dish positions were off by about 18 numbers on almost every satellite. I did not call NPS for a hit. The clock set the correct time on its own.
