Two receivers with one motorized dish

Good day to you all

I have an old digital receiver with built-in 36v positioner and I'm planning to buy a new on with CS capabilities but does not have a built-in positioner.

Is there a way to use the old receiver's positioner with the new one?

Thanks a lot in advance.

My System: Triple Dragon with HDD/USB stick, Humax HDCI2000, Echostar AD3000ip & SR8700, Fortecstar 5100CIUltra, Aston Simba, RSD ODM300. Swedish Microwave 1.2 Motorised dish / Invacom C120 twin LNB driven by the AD3000. 3 other fixed dishes. Diablo/Mrev Cams


Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed

Just run the old STB with the new one, leaving just the motor/pulse wiring on the positioner connections, using that STB for driving the dish.

You can always loop the LNB output from the new STB to the old one if that one requires the signal for peaking to the satellite.

Actually, I have. But the thing is I have three receivers at home and all I need is two.
Thanks for the feedback anyhow.

Thanks m8 for the tip. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
