Can you get to a location where you can take a photo/s of the motor arm/dish and post them here. See if we can spot anything.

As there are many possible reasons, damaged cable, broken motor, rust, or lack of lubrication on motor arm (older kit).

It may be a small simple fix, it may not. As many many things can cause the fault you describe.

Well the dish is moving again it feels like it’s a power related problem but I am no expert, signals on feed is non existent now but regular channels work.

What would i need to do, So i get very low signals on certain sats, for example AFN EU would be around the 14db mark and i used to get the globecast feeds with decent signal, but its now around the 11db mark and naturally those weak feeds wont pull in, any idea what the theory is and hopefully when this dreadful pandemic is over I can call out the satellite installer to fix it.
