A year or so ago you set me in touch with a guy that had an RD 9900 positioner for sale which I purchased. I have never tried it as I got the existing system working. It seems that everything went to******after I got a new receiver from Direct TV. Anyway I still have the extra positioner in the wings if a new LNB doesn’t fix the problem. If that doesn’t work I am going to try it manually. According to the book in the manual mode the positioner should read out Azimuth and Elevation as you manually move the dish using the arrow keys. I’ll not replace the dish with a new one if I can’t get this to work, I’ll just pick up a tripod and a Direct TV antenna and use that. We don’t watch enough TV to warrant the expense of a new automatic system. By the way, you’re an asset to the forum in case you didn’t know.
