vbox is the most popular..however some old receivers have a built in 36v positioner power output..

does your echostar have any power to it at all??if it does coonect it up and loop out to your main receiver then leave your echo pn standby..it should work

No its completely dead, infact thats how i was using it but it gets a bit annoying because if you want to see another channel from a different satellite you have to keep on switching between the two.

Which is the best vbox? or all of them the same? I found three different makes of vbox, 1) technomate 2) superjack and 3)motek
