    Duh, just read you signature. I have several old c-band dishes that I can just go pick up if I wanted to. Can the old analog lnb on the scaler ring assembly be swapped for a digital one? or do I need a whole new assembly? see the pic

    Lak, heres what I found. the dish has a 3/16 keeper bolt that goes through the dish mounting sleeve through the motors rotor tube. the hole inthe rotor tube is for a 1/4 inch bolt leaving more than two degrees of play. when I loosened the bolts the dish could wobble back and forth like crazy...

    when removing the dish from the motor I noticed that the hole on the motor tube was qute a bit bigger than the one on the dishes angle mount. When I loosened the bolt the dish wobbled from side to side quite a bit. More than enough to qualify for 2 degrees. will keep you posted.

    Samsonite 30", its not warped. I have to straiten wildblue dishes everyday. However I have figured out that it is 2 degrees off. pointed at 123 with motor and getting strong 121. so maybe the motor slipped a little? I dont know. any ideas?

    I dont think it was the motor. I bent the dish back to the direction I thought it should go and its recieving again. I think I will reinforce polar plate somehow. Thanks, Jason
