Satelitte newbie found a 1.8m motorised dish installed with new flat.
Computer literate Win Vista broadband etc.

Hello, new to forum and hoping you will get me started by answering a basic question as I know absolutely nothing about motorised dishes and am keen to get into it.
(Ex Marconi & RAF RADAR eng so OK with radio theory etc but newcomer to this subject)
I have moved into a flat (Malta) & it has a dish about 1.8m on the roof.
it is presently pointing at Hotbird and receives OK. My problem - it is a motorised dish connected up at the dish end but in the flat next to the incoming sat coax is the power cable which looks like telephone cable, it has 4 cores, Orange, Blue, White and White orange.
Could someone please explain what they do (voltage etc) and how are they connected ie do they connect to the rear of a suitable receiver or some sort of mover box? Dont know what to buy as yet.
Thanks for looking.
