It is my understanding that Motosat is out of business - is that correct.
Among other issues I have a bizarre phenomenon in my coach. When I am locked on to a satellite and after a while the signal strength falls, I get DRAMATIC instantaneous improvement in signal strength when I switch on my Porch light -and it stays good. Is there any possible explanation for that?

Yes they are out of business, I just had to have mine replaced with a new system because they could not get any support to fix an issue.

I just had my Motosat replaced with the Winegard Trav'ler 1000.

That's easy..with your porch light on the satellite can see you better and thus can better send the signal to you. ;-)
Or maybe the Motel 6 tagline applies - "We'll leave the light on for you"

Sorry for the humor...I could't resist!

Oh, this explains it. I always thought that was what the blue light was for!

Yes, they are out of business but you can get parts for most of their antennas at RFMogul. Just got a part for my batwing but my Motosat still works fine. Barrie Boas 94 Concept 5111 (East Coast)
