A Motor On The 12' And 10' Mesh Dish

[birdman2001]

Hey Guy I Was Wondering If The Pansat Free To Air Can Operate The Motor On The 12'/10 Mesh Dish And If So How

 

[Mr Tony]

not as is. You need a VBox II to put between the Pansat reciever and your actuator.

Has anybody tried a VBox II yet? I think Sadoun was getting some in. The original VBox was kind of a disappointment for a lot of folks.

Your better off buying a cheap c-band receiver from flea bay to control the dish, and it will allow you to see c and ku ntsc signals.

If the VBox II works well, I think I'd still be tempted to go that way and slave the analog to the Pansat. Unless he's looking to subscribe to some programming. That way, he wouldn't have to go back and forth between the receivers every time he wanted to change sats or polarity. Of course that's exactly what he'll have to do for the analog channels but there's more digital FTA on cband than analog.

I beleive you can use a high freq. splitter or most receivers allow the lnb to through-put to another boi.e. the 4dtv side car I think connects in this fashion)

so can i get amc3 c-band receiver

With the side car the analog receiver still has to control the motor. The splitter solution is essentially the same as slaving the analog to the pansat.
