my SG2100 is working fine. Worked great this morning when it was -15F out (-26C) in MInneapolis. It seems to be louder but works great. Bang on when I move satellites. Using a CS5000 here

Brotherhood, make absolutely sure that the 2 Connection Points on the HH 120 Motor are not loose - that is where the Motor In and Motor Out Coaxial Connections are. I had a problem with my connections which were loose and Fortec Canada told me to tighten them up with a deep shaft Allen Key type of tool, otherwise you will have a Intermittent Connection!! That is, if your connectors are loose you have to tighten them - there is a kind of slot screw that has to be tightened. Hope this helps.

edit:
Sorry, I thought we were talking about the H-180, which needs a Vbox.
My apologies, and to the STAB HH-120 motor, as well.
I'd always thought its only shortcoming was that it was a bit slow, but otherwise pretty good.

yes receivers run the motor directly i just use a A/b switch to switch the signal from th pansat in living room to coolsat in bedroom
