No Defo Screensport

Put it this way you have plenty of time to make a brew. Upside no risk of a tuner melt down.

Also greatly missed is Screensport. Roller Derby and live Nascar not the crappy Sky Highlights

That brings back memories using a PC as decoder along with.

Thanks Guys will upload some more pics once everything's finished off

OK Seconds Away Round Two Hi Guys new stab HH120 arrived this morning, aligned motor to dish, aligned to Thor everything else just fell into place can get 50 East to 30 West at present. Not had a go at tweaking the alignment yet due to a turn in the weather. One thing I have noticed with the...

DOH! I missed Trust1 first comments was more focused on trying to read his little circuit diagram Apologizes to Trust1 and A33

I dont think so i Sorry which one are we talking about is it this one "Wiring the impossible"?

Hi All, Apologies if I have not replied to you all, Project is now on hold till new Motor arrives,

What receiver are you using? Just ordered a Stab 120 Echostar SR-4500 one of these was my baby + 1.2mt prime focus dish Jaguer jack cant remember the lnb ECHOSTAR SR-4500 Integrated Satellite Receiver-Antenna Positioner

Have found a circuit diagram which shows the concept. The left side of the is the motor electronics which is still fed from the Tuner LNB supply. The right side shows the relays that switch power to the motor this power would normally come from the LNB feed. This circuit has isolated the relay...

Thats was what my idea above would overcome. you would remove the motor supply from the LNB feed and feed the motor from a separate power supply so the voltage feed to the motor would not be dependent on 13v or 18v from the receiver, the receiver would still be controlling the motor, but not...

I came across your thread I know it's old but I thought I'd add my comments. I've been having problems with rotor drive and it's comes up a lot over various forums. I don't believe the current draw figures that the manufactures quote its a bit like car manufactures quoting fuel mileage...

two reason actually one is goto 0 gives me a know ref point so the dish should have moved to thor and astra as i sent them up. Secondly while testing the motor on the bench I found that sometimes it would not goto xxx unless it was told to goto0 first. wish I had my old Echostar, polar mount...

Receiver is set for Usals. I used the reciever to drive motor to 1w then rotated the motor on the pole and found Thor as can be seen from the picture above I then sent the motor to 28.2e and it found it ok. I then used goto 0 and then to Thor and it could not see it so went to Astra could not...
