Can move my dish using quad

[snooker121]

Hi,
i have TM6900 with a motorize system and quad link attached to attacked todifferent rooms in the house. I used to be able to change/move between Sat list from any room in the house.

But now i can only control/move the sat from only one room, how can i change/move the dish from any room in the house.

taking my tm to different rooms and cant move the dish which i was able to move before.


Any help will truly be appreciated

Thanks

You can't do what you want, as only one receiver can be connected to the motor,as it only has one connector on it to connect to a receiver.

Maybe there is a solution to cotrol a motor from multiple locations using remote control extenders to the main receiver, or the same with a V-box and a 36 v motor.

Th only way that could work is if all the receivers were connected using the loop through, but then only one box would, as you so rightly say Robbo, be able to control the dish motor. I have 7025 and 6900 driving the motor, but only one can do that at a time. Once the dish is on a sat, I can watch any channel on that sat, with both boxes, I could record a SD channel on the Dreambox and record a HD channel with the Technomate, but if I need to move the dish one or other of the boxes needs to be put on standby, till the dish has reached the sat. I did not realise that I could do this till this week, as I was always of the opinion that only only the first box would be able to receive the signal, the two boxes are connected via the loop through, from the Dreambox to the Technomate I think that it must be that the Technomate is receiving the signal from the second tuner, which is set to the same as the first tuner.

Very best regards Wez

I realise that only one box could move the dish, i have only one box and when the box is moved to a different room i find that i couldnt move that dish. Any help?

I suspect the problem is that the other rooms are wired to the lnb and not to the motor.

[Robbo]

Yes, if you want to control the motor from another room, wire that to the motor instead of the one that's already connected.

[snooker121]

Yes your are right, the other rooms are wired to the lnb. I can i resolve this problem, because i was able to move the dish from any room before.

[Rick]

Swap the wires at the motor, so that the room you want is plugged into the motor.

[snooker121]

But i was able to use move the dish without i have to swap the cables. Is there any paticular order that cables needs to be in other to move the dish across different rooms.

Becuase i can swear i was able to move the dish without having to swap cables

The motor will only have one connection to the reciever. I can't think of any way of doing what you want to do.
