which standalone positioner

I have always had a reciever with built in positioner in the past driving my old sat dish (actuator type)
My reciever has died on me a while back.
looking into buying another reciever and it seems that linex based recievers are the way to go. i would like to be hd so have thought about getting the dream box 800hd since there are many fantastics guides here and around the web. but most of the modern recievers seem to have diseq to control the diseq type motors .

reading so far it seems i can buy a stanalone positioner that will drive my actator type dish and also be compatible with the diseq reciever. the problem is that there seems to be few types available when doing my search. What would you recommend .
Is the vbox the one i should go for and what is the latest model.

There are several versions of v-box around, most of which are good, certainly a couple of our forum supporting advertisers carry them.

Thanks for the quick reply
What is your opinion on 4 core cable as i have also cut this.
Does it make any difference if under say approx 40 feet
