Dreambox 500s Does not move motor HELP PLEASE !!!

Hi guys and firstly let me thank anyone for their help.
I have a dreambox 500s and it doesnt seem to have enough power to move the motor, so what I have done is reinstalled my Technomate 5400 to drive the motor which it does no problem and finds all the sweet spots in all satellite I have searched for without a problem.
I have run a cable from the TM5400 out of LNB out to the LNB In on the dreambox and can watch all the channels that way via Scart of course.
Is there anyway possible that I can use to dreambox via the TM5400 to drive the motor without having to change cables all the time?
Thanks again in advance

I think the only way you could do this - would be to use the TM to position the Dish, then switch it off.

Switch on the DM500 and select the channel you want to watch on that Satellite.

To change Satellites, switch off the DM500, switch on the TM, position the Dish and switch off again.

Switch on the DM500 and select the channel.

It doesn`t really lend itself to channel zapping, does it ? :eek:
