I just moved my 7.5' dish after sitting for awhile and now its stuck. I'll go out there with the grease tomorrow and try to jump start the actuator. Voltage testing in the house was inconclusive.

My 4dtv quit sending voltage out so I temporarily retired it and hooked up an extra vbox 7 I had laying around. Actuator works fine still but I plan on winterizing it momentarily.
Any idea what caused the 4dtv to fizzle out? Surge maybe?
Hate to be the bearer of bad news folks but Old Man Winter is coming so getting your actuator arm lubricated is essential, especially if you live in a hostile climate as myself.
I think the part that supplies voltage just has worn/dirty contacts. I am thinking it can be fixed later on.Quote:
