[QUOTE="a33, post: 1065171, member: 332642"] So, if the needed LNB-current would be the problem: Did you try(for testing reasons) moving the motor while the [B]other connected receivers[/B] supply 18 volt to the LNB? In that case the VU+ wouldn't need to supply the LNB-power; so if that is the problem the motor should probably work, that way. Otherwise try the single-LNB test as suggested. With a modification of the motor, it could be made to turn on external power, I guess. You'd need an extra cable to the motor, though. If you have a free output on the octo LNB, you could also try to power that with an external 18V lead also, I guess. All depends on if the needed (LNB)current really causes the problem. From what I read octo LNBs aren't the most reliable, BTW. Don't know if this is part of the problem. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
