That polorizer chatter is an indication of a bad servo. Capacitor problem. Try disconnecting the red servo motor wire after acquiring a signal and see if it stays stable. If so, and it goes to heck again after reconnection this issue would be solved.

I did notice that my servo motor chattered on occasion and the polarator moved a little. Is that normal or do I have a servo problem? I'm still thinking it's a receiver problem.

At that point I'd suspect the 4DTV unit is malfunctioning, but I don'tknow what you'd do about it other than send it in. Well, if you can lay your hands on another 4DTV unit and plug it into your system, that would pretty much tell the tale, but I know that's not always an easy thing to do. - larryy At 9:28 PM -0500 8/7/06, dbmccarver wrote: >My mistake.
