I am surprised that someone hasnt designed a convertor that sends a diseq signal to a 36v motor (with the correct power cables of course). This would be the obvious answer for bigger dishes without a vbox. | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | ![]() I think there's 2 VBOXs, one is just a positioner with a remote control, whereas the second is the converter for DiSEqC to 36v...

My System: Technomate 1500 ci 90cm Gibertini Inverto Silver Tech 0.3lnb Moteck 2100A motor | The idea was just as a back up if the diseq motor got tired with the new dish i've got. It should be OK. If not it looks like I could be into about another £150+ with the vbox11, a H-H mount and actuator, Oh and 4 way cable. | ||

| Most of the VBox installs I did were in the loft, running off the same supply as the TV aerial amplifier. Works a treat, as long as the motor outside is also up to the job, (no Minijack/Superjack III s).
