DM500S and Motorised satellite dish

[jfish]

about to dive in to the world of motorised satellite dish, got myself a 500S - where does the power for the motor on the motorised dish come from, I assume from the DM500S via the cable - will the DM provide enough voltage to control the motor.

[Devilfish]

You are correct, the power comes from the coax cable connected to the dm500s.

The dm500s will work just fine with a motorised setup.

thanks, does the DK 1.1 image support a motorised set up (currently use DK 1.1 for my cable DM so am happy to use same image for satellite)

with VM moving to N3 best time to move over to Satellite scene and hopefully get the 3pm footy.

what cams are used for 1 west ,I was thinking of going with either the technomate tm500 or the dreambox500s which is best and wnat cams are required and work at the moment without the use of CCCam.I have looked at the technomate cam update section but no mention for the linux based tm500 I want to use a linux based box as they can cardshare if you wish. thanks

Yes, the DK image will work on satellite, just the same as cable.

please can i use tm-2600 motor on dreambox 500s?

[mtv1]

as far as i am aware the 500s doesn't have a mortised option the 600 and 800 do good luck m8

yes that motor will be fine on a 500 dreambox any DiESqC motor is fine the use the coaxail cable to carrie the 18volts to the motor then a loop of the motor to lnb just watch the dish size think these motors arre good for up to a 1.2 dish and thing over that will be to hevay for the motor to drive i would go for a meter dish

CCcam is the CAMD used with Keys and it will open 1 West Digi Tv, The TM500 and DM500S are both okay for CCcam and C/S as far as i am aware.

Any Motor should work on the DM500S.

As stated here try to keep your dish below 1.1 Meters for two reasons

1) Anything above requires planning permission
2) The power coming from your reiever wont be enough to power the dish to move and you will need a addition unit to power the motor.

Thanks superman,how do i arrive to this additional power to the motor,since the only power is from one box?

how to input keys in Dreambox DM500S for pehla...i am trying to download a software on this site but am not able to...is there any other way of manually input keys in this device....

[Jo-Jo]

you wont open much with keys i suggest you have a read up on the full potential of the dreambox its not as much emulation with cams or keys with this box
