TH1020A and BEC DB-2000 sharing a 90cm dish with HH100 motor

Hello,

I have a BEC STB DB-2000 FTA receiver and a TH1020A PCI card both connected via multiswitch to a 90cm dual LNB dish with a Stab HH100 motor. Both the receiver and the PCI card can controll the HH100 motor via DiSEqC. I've manually stored the location of 7 satellites using the BEC receiver and so far I've told the PCI card the dish was fixed and used the BEC to move the dish.

Here is the question. Does anyone know if I can use the DiSEqC and/or USALS on the PCI card without interfering with the BEC receiver? Obviously the dish can only point at one satellite at a time. My understanding is that the positions are stored in the motor. So if I start using the motor control on the PCI card hardware/software, will I mess up the satellite postions that I stored with the BEC receiver? Does the motor distinguish between different receivers when it stores a satellite position?

At any given time, I'd like to be able use either the PCI card or the BEC receiver. Has anyone done this? If I start saving DiSEqC satellite positions with the PCI card, will I overwrite the satellite positions I saved using the BEC receiver?

Thanks,
Dave
