Hello,
About a year ago I tried to get a rotor to work. However, I forgoted to turn off the receiver so I probably short circuited it. After that it started to destroy all LNBs I connected to it with the motor connected. If I removed the motor, then the LNBs worked (if I hadn't tried them with the motor connected). Waisted about five LNBs on that back then...

Now, my question is, when I buy a new receiver (Dreambox DM 600), would you dare to connect the rotor to it? Do you think that it was the old short circuited receiver that was the problem or the rotor itself?

Based upon your description of what happened it is impossible to answer with any certainty, thus anything else would be a guess.

In short .................No I wouldn't. A DM600 costs £230 whilst a new motor is £45. Considering your suspicion about your existing motor why would you want to risk your nice new Dreambox for £45? Its not worth the cost or the hassle and stress if your existing motor fries your box.
