[QUOTE="Oxfordman, post: 17193"] Could you please help? I currently use an old analogue receiver (Echostar LT-8700) to drive a 1 metre motorised dish (36V 5A actuator) the LNB of which is connected to a sky digibox! It works fine and I can access digital channels from all the satellites I am interested in as well as the channels of my sky package. Of course only 50 channels, from no more than 7 transponders, can be stored as “other channels” at anyone time and this is clearly not ideal. I am thinking of getting a Manhattan Starlight 6800 and connect to it the actuator motor and sensor terminals currently on the Echostar. Will this enable me to drive the dish in the same accurate, trouble-free and very reliable way as now? Assuming that this can work, I am planning to connect the LNB to the Manhattan and use its loop through facility to link it with the Sky digibox. Can this work? The choice of Manhattan was based solely on my assumption that this is perhaps the only one that can drive my dish and that effectively I have no other choice. What do people think of this receiver? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
