    Lost all East satellites

    Hi

    Can someone please help me

    I have just done a factory reset having set up and reloaded the spiderbox 9000
    I pressed the sat button on the remote and all my west satellites are gone not even my dish will move west

    I have set lon/lat

    The only two sats I can use to get some channels are 16.7 east and 19 east the only way to get channels on these two sats is to do a blind search

    I live in the south esat of england i have 1 mtr motorised diah and a spiderbox 9000hd before my factory reset i could go from 42 east to 30 west
    and every thing in between

    so can somebody let me know where I go from here as to what to do

    The chann' list, was it a 'current' one with all your updates / additions on 26 and 19E ? Maybe not........

    Check motor settings - USALS ? and re-check your Long / Lat setting

    Go to installation in menu select motor setup enter pin code [0000]..
    select DISeqC 1.2..
    Select sat that you want put the frequency in [eg 10710 v 27500]..
    scrole down to drive step move dish [east or west[using remote < > button on remote..
    when you get S [SIGNAL] in green and Q [QUALITY] IN BLUE,,Go down to search [select all or whatever]..
    after the search select store sat position..
    repeat untill all sat's are back to normal..

    If you saved channel list there is no need to scan again just save sat position.

    does the dish move freely?can you see the dish moving say from the window?
    unless you had say hurricane winds then cant see why dish has moved
    have you checked all connections?
    sat cable to motor?you say you can get 16e and 19e so dish moves from one to the other.check dish alighnment,maybe it has moved?tilted downwards perhaps

    and you can not get any channels on say 5e?
    if you dish has some how moved it must of moved a great distance not to be able to get any sats after 5e and only geting the 2 you mentioned

    The only way that I can get channels on an east satellite either 42 east to 5 east
    is to do a blind search

    So I can get some channels working an all east sats by doing a blind search

    Then only channels I get are the Canal channels

    yes I agree I at last are getting something

    In motor set up menu scroll down to command,use left or right cursor until you come to limit off, and disable limit, then see if dish will go further right.Worth a try!

    Hi 2colby many thanks

    Now able to turn dish to west sates did what you said and took the east west limit off

    I must have done something to knock the dish limit off what I don't know

    Now that that bit is up and running ( I hope )

    I am at this moment doing a blind search on HispaSat 30 west

    What about the rest of the channels as I have said I am getting all canal channels that is all that I can open for now how do I go about getting the rest

    I have patch 830 loaded dated 30 Aug can you please let me know as to what els I neeed to get the rest of the channels

    Just had a look in software section ,the 830 patch was for the 7000hd so may have the wrong one loaded.

    Yes Master-t you are right I am using the 830 for Spiderbox 9000 HD dated 30 Aug 2010 Glenn_911

    The latest update I can now move my dish west by taken off the west limit as 2colby told me what I am finding now is that I can't get any channels on any west sats even If I do a satellite search or a blind search or any other search I can't get any channels at al
    Yes the dish moves from one west sat to another and that is itl

    Master-t thanks for all your help so far

    I have been looking at my Lat/Lon settings on my position and find that both of them as showing 00000's

    At this moment every thing is working on 16 east and 19 east what I mean working is that I can get the Canal channels on both sats

    As soon as I input Lon/Lat my position I get a massage No Signal I then go back and delate Lon/Lat I get the channels back

    I got my Lon/Lat from Multi Map

    Every time I turn their is an new problem
