[QUOTE="Norm, post: 103547, member: 175218"] The positioner in my BEC receiver has failed. I've taken a look inside and there are unfortunately some charred components on the positioner board; I have also stripped the 36V motor and it appears OK (ie clean with no water ingress). The failure didn't happen when moving the dish which would also suggest that the motor itself wasn't the cause. After replacing the fuse in the receiver, it still works OK (and the dish is pointed at Hotbird). After thinking about it for a few days, I have decided that possibly the best option is to go for a V Box II and plod along with the BEC receiver which still seems to meet my requirements. The question is - is this a sensible thing to do? Are there any drawbacks in using the V Box or is it, as far as the user is concerned, just an invisible item in the receiver / dish chain, once it is installed and set up? [/QUOTE]
