[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 6072, member: 174998"] I don't know what a co-ax will take, or indeed whether the limitations are in the coax itself or the receiver/LNB connections to the co-ax. In any event, yes, the 5A of the Echostar is sufficient to drive a large dish (3m or more) but that's through its standard positioner. The DiSEqC software of the receiver is v1.0 - which supports LNB switching but not dish positioning (for that v1.2 is needed). Logical, since why would anyone interested in DiSEqC positioning buy a top-line receiver with actual built in positioner in the first place? By the way, here's a manufacturer offering an excellent DiSEqC motor capable of driving a 1.2m dish: http://www.stab-italia.com/english/rot120_uk.htm That manages it with a max output of 350mA. Clever. In fact,that particular motor can be supplied with a conversion box for those with DiSEqC v1.0 only. 2old [/QUOTE]
