That means something physically is stalling and you are getting nowhere because most likely it isn't a software issue but a hardware issue.

I have seen time outs from a stall. It stalls and the Sky X shows a time out error. The Sky 6 never dropped out on me once but the Sky X is different and when there is an issue it bails out.

It may be the old cam pin adjustment is still not coming out of the factory just right and you are getting a physical stall.
One thing - try exercising the mount - 50 times. That is an option in the TCS. See if it will do that and it may loosen and seat everything in a bit better.

If it physically stalls or you get a time out it probably means it stalled and then that shows up as a time out.

As I recall thats what I saw when mine stalled during the adjustments of the cam pin and the 2 threaded rods on either side of the pin. These adjust the tension and they are to be 2.25 to 2.5 turns open from fully screwed in. Then adjust the cam as per the SB adjusting the cam PDF then try it out. Not enough and the gears slip, too much and it stalls.


I am happy to guide you through this step. Also there is an excellent video by Chris Venter showing the steps for adjusting the cam.
