Hi

I recently purchased a Darkman DiSEqC Super Motor Metal Gears from Southern Satellites with a 88cm Triax dish and followed the instructions found here... DiSEqC motor installation guides. ... and even without a meter managed to get it setup on a Fortec Star FTA receiver. This unit was found to be faulty and I now have a Humax Foxsat Freesat box and now need to know how to set that up for multiple satellites I might splash out on one of these Satfinder things one of these days.
Cheers
Alec

Got no problems with setup,got all channels fine,receiver works fine most of the time then has a wobbler.When I had a HtoH to turn dish I had a seperate positioner to plug the ribbon into(dark days of the past,D2mac etc),I just wondered till I have money for new box if I could cure it with a seperate unit.
