motor problem, please help

Hi,

I am trying to set up a DisecqC 1.2 H-H Motor and having a few problems.

- when testing the receiver is set to default and so is the motor.
-when the LNB cable is connected from the LNB to the motor (to the bit that indicates LNB) the motor is not working at all.
-however, when this cable is not connected to the motor the motor sometimes does move - although not on all occasions whilst testing.
-the times it is ´moving the motor fails to go back to the saved position...this is when testing without the LNB cable connected.

- I have checked and the receiver confirms that the settings are on DiSeqC1.2. When i command it to go west/east it doesn’t continuously move, it starts and stops again and this is although I keep my finger on the arrow on the remote control for the receiver. but when I press the manual button on the motor it does move smoothly.

Also my receiver has USALS...when I command it to go from for example from Hotbird 13E to Nilesat 7W it goes to 0 and it stops. It does not go beyond 0. However, when pressing the manual button to go west it goes west.


So I am confused as to what is going on. Please note that all these that I have tested are when the LNB cable is not connected. when I connect this LNB cable, motor doesn’t work at all even with manual buttons

N/B My receiver it is an Echostar DSB-808 2Ci Viaccess and as far as I know compatible.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

thanks
