    I have installed the tm 2600 done it late yesterday .

    Made new ends on motor and box motor was moving ok last night did not have time to set it up.

    My M8 called round this afternoon to help set it up no joy motor will not move have not touched anything since last night.

    Run new cable from box to motor Not through wall no joy.

    Reflashed the image from blackhole to vix.

    Before flashing connected old dark motor with new cable on bootup the leds were flashing on motor but after image loaded nothing.

    Connected new cable back up new motor nothing as i said put new connections on motor and box.

    Have you checked your connections?
    I once experienced a similar problem, with satellite reception, everything working, on setting it up, then an intermittent problem, followed by a complete loss of signal.
    Took a little while, to track down the problem, and discovered that one of my F connectors was too tight, for the cable, and cut the strands, of wire, when I screwed it onto the cable.

    Also do you have another receiver, even an old one, to test if it's your receiver, not sending sufficient power?

    I found a ready made connector lead Factory made all enclosed connected dark motor to it led are flashing ok.

    So it has to be the connection somewhere all long the line.

    Not had chance today to check been raining all day.

    To cap it all my internet has been dropping out every ten min sky is sending somebody out on the 9th may.

    Only just signed up for another year what else can go wrong.

    I know this is off topic.

    Can anyone recommend a router instead of sky sr02

    I am amazed i have been able to post this without a dropout.

    Spoke to soon drop out while typing will have to wait until it it reconnects

    It's been a while guys here is what i have done:

    Altered the brackets with the help of my nephew

    Both pole and brackets okay.

    Used USALS got 28.2/23.5/19.2/16.0/13.0 all with a average signal of 75% and working great.

    Yesterday lost signal on 16.0 and poor signal on 23.5 and dropped signal on others.

    I had not altered anything from when the signal was good.

    Late last night altered the north coordinate a touch at a time still the same

    To re-align the dish you slightly alter the longitude reading, not the latitude, but I would first check your signal quality readings, on other satellites, 23.5E should boom in, as it's stronger than 16E.
    Can you please post your current quality readings, on 19.2E, and 13E? As well as a few others.

    90% on 13.e / 85% on 19.2/ 95% on 28.2.

    Only altered the long settings

    Longitude is East/West, positive longitude readings = East, negative Longitude readings = West, you mentioned North, which is what made me think you'd altered the wrong settings.

    I'm surprised 19.2E isn't stronger, but even so you should be getting a good signal quality reading on 23.5E, depending on the transponder.Try one of the canal digitaal frequencies, like 11856 V 29900 DVB-S2 8PSK 2/3

    You are right mickha i have altered the wrong settings.

    The other half is watching the soaps and this moment.

    On hot bird on of my fav channels is NAT GEO WILD HD in polish with english audio track.

    Signal has gone to zero from 90% might have moved transponder

    I tend to stick with 19.2E, especially Movistar +, which has National Geographioc, Nat Geo Wild Europe, History, Discovery and A & E:
    Code:
    http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/Movistar--19E.html
    Nat Geo Wild, part of the Cyfrowy Polsat package, is listed on 13E:
    12188 V 27500 DVB-S2 8PSK 3/4
    as well as a Nova package version:
    12130 H 27500 DVB-S2 8PSK 3/4
    Try manually scanning in both versions, and see if they work.

    Tried to alter the lat settings for about two hours last night No joy.

    Went from usals to Disegc fine tuned slightly on hotbird to start with.

    Signal went from 85% to 100% done the same on other sats

    Got 100% on 28.2/23.5/19.2/16.0/ 13.0/

    And on of my fav channels NAT GEO WILD HD in polish with english audio track has shot up to 100% with Diseqc

    But on usals was 85% on other freq but 0% on Nat Geo Wild .

    I'm not keen on receivers that claim 100%, especially on 16E, 28.2E, 23.5E, 19.2E, and 13E are very powerful, and should give strong signal readings.
    Can you please post the frequencies, of the Nat Geo Wild channel, which currently gives 0%, it might have changed frequency.

    It has not changed m8 it's the same one is giving 100% signal on disequ and working great but was giving 0% on usals.

    Will post back with freq.

    11257 H 27500 3/4 8PSK

    Some weak ones on 23.5 where 54% have shoot up to 100% just by fine tuning by two steps

    I was also getting 100% when fine tuning in the postioner menu with usals but could not save.

    Forgot to say my box is VU Solo 4k

    your LATITUDE settings on the receiver should be set to your GPS location and not be altered at all

    any lat alterations are done on the actual motor body itself , outside , using spanners

    the USALS longitude setting should be set correctly for your location in the box itself and then the actual dish and actual motor are moved until you peak the signals , then you lock them both up using spanners

    this usals LONGITUDE can be altered slightly in the menu by up to half a degree either way to get the optimum across the sat range

    diseqc v1.2 manual locate and store will give the best readings for each sat, but usually usals will suffice

    so remember, on the box you are altering LONGITUDE in usals, not latitude (latitude remains fixed)
