[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 6070, member: 174998"] (I've moved this post here from the "miscellaneous" forum, since DiSEqC refers to multi-sat systems) The problem with DiSEqC is that the motor is powered via curret transmitted along the co-ax since that is the only connection (at once its charm and its limitation). And it's not yet proven possible/reliable (safe?) to generate sufficient current to drive a heft dish. Max is abouut 1m so far, though I did read recently of one that could drive 1.2m. Note that it is possible to get a conversion device that supplies a standard motor with the usual power (sufficient to drive a dish as large as you want) and converts the DiSEqC pulses to normal motpr pulses for dish positioning. 2old [/QUOTE]
