My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

If it's RG58 then you will have real problems, it isn't suitable for satellite installations and will lose 1db/metre, plus it is 50Ohm, not 75Ohm as required.

To drive your motor you need enough power and although the specs of the SS2 would suggest it is OK, many people have had problems.

You need the DiSEqC 1.2 plugin to make it work.
