The the specs to see if it supports Diseqc 1.2. If not, you will need to buy a new receiver which is Diseqc 1.2 compatible to driver the h-h motor.

Since your receiver has DiSEqC 1.2, you should be all set. If you want USALS capability, buy a Fortec Star. The 786v3 model has great USALS performance.
