That last sentence should have been every time i move the dish left or right...lol Rod

EVERYONE , THANKS for your responses so far I greatly appreciate all your help. This has so been so very frustrating at times. ...The actuator is the Powermax PMA-24. I bought this as a package with my WS 6' ft dish and DMX741 LNBF. Just to let you know from day one I was getting the E-2 msg...

I am using low voltage irrigation wire that I bought from HDepot a few months ago when I started this project. I believe its 7 strand. The dish only moves in BUMPS it does not stay in motion with either the openbox , gbox remotes or buttons on the face of the gbox I did notice something else...

In my last reply I mentioned that I used the Gbox by itself to isolate if it was the Gbox or Openbox was at fault. I was wrong in saying the OPenbox was at fault. I came to the conclusion that the Openbox was at fault as I used AMC3 and Gal 28 (87w and 89w). Because they are next to each other...

Pixl, I did as you suggested but no luck. The dish never moves even though the openbox screen display says it moving. The Gbox like before immediately shows the correct position # on its display once the openbox sat and position # is selected. So as before no CHANGE. ....... Brent I did use...

Pixl wait one minute I just realized my MISTAKE and you even Highlighted it USE THE GBOX REMOTE to move the dish.. going to bed now got to be at work for 0645 hrs. Will try it when i get home from work at 1915 hrs. THANKS Rodm

Pixl, the steps you mentioned above is exactly what I have done. However the dish does not move when you try to go back to a previous sat that is stored. The Gbox does show the correct pos # but the dish does not move. It does say its moving in the openbox screen but never does. I have cleared...

Fa T Air, thanks for the reply but you are way over my head in your response. I did buy my openbox which had the European sat list. I did dump that list and imported a list from sadoun which had the N. American sats. Initally when I first programmed the sats the openbox remote did move the...

Lone Cloud, I will wait to see if anyone comes up with any other ideas. Your suggestion does seem workable BUT, I would really just like to use one remote if possible ie. the openbox one. rodm

I am having no success setting up my openbox with my gbox. Using diseqc 1.2 I was able to start saving satellite from amc3 (pos1) moving west until 7 sats were saved. However upon going back to pos1 using the openbox remote to save and move the dish I could not lock any of my sats back. I...

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3.6 as my os. I had it recently placed on my main computer which is the only one that has a connection for a RS-232 serial port. I have downloaded firmware from various postings by Iceberg for my coolsat 4000 pro, including the original firmware in zip file...

Magic, I wish I had asked this question two days ago. I would have saved myself aprox. 17-18 hours of grief...lol . THANKS now back to the drawing board.

I am trying to set up USALS with my coolsat 4ooo pro receiver. I am using a WI 6 ft dish and a DMX741 lnb. I have placed my dish at my true south sat which is Nimiq2 at 82 deg which is my longitude. The receiver has been programmed with both my long. and lat. When I tell the dish to go to...

No problem Radar. Hope you get well soon

Sorry guys I guess should have mentioned I just set up a WI 6ft $69.00 special with a new WI DMX741 LNBF Thanks Rodm
