[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 423673, member: 256551"] If you can get the monobloc working fine through the motor, then it would work, but not 100% optimally as neither LNB will be at the dish's focus. The monobloc uses diseqc to switch between the two internal LNBs and there can be compatibility issues with a motor. It may work though, as I have a motor and a diseqc switch working together, and found that it worked OK if the motor was connected to the receiver, and the switch to the motor, and then the LNBs to the switch. To see if it will work, take the coax from the back off your receiver and fit the motor in line. If you can move the motor, and still get a signal on both sats, then you should be fine. Using a monobloc with a motor, if set up successfully would give you the advantage that you haven't got to move the motor when going between Hotbird and Astra1. Might be a bit confusing to set up though. So, I don't think its totally pointless, but if trying to get some of the weaker sats, since you won't ever be at the dish's focus, you won't be making best use of your dish's size, and possibly lose transponders that you would have otherwise got.
