Writing from South Africa moving satellite dishes are history.I need a positioner,the Motech comes to mind at around 50 quid.Can a member kindly advise me where I can obtain one and my daughter can bring it with her when she comes to South Africa.

I have a couple of boxed positioners here, one has a 5V output for optical pulse.

You may have to provide more detail of the dish size you are going to use since not many positioners will cope with large current starts.

Thanks Channel Hopper.
I require one with the following specs.
220-240 VAC.36 VDC via motor cable 5VDC optional for optical sensor. Memories 60.
Mine is a Moteck.

Still need to know about the potential current consumption at start up, unless you are willing to take a risk.

What is the receiver if you are looking to convert DiSEqC 1.2 (or greater) to DC positioning ?

1706030027972.jpegChannel Hopper I am not sure whether you are referring to a motor positioner .I am referring to a dish positioner as per image. ie a Diseqc positioner with 60 memories.

Channel Hopper this is exactly what I require . The 5VDC optical Sensor was added on the later models.I dont mind an old or later model.
