    Default Help..Multi-Sats...Help

    Can somebody please help me ? OK so i got a 1m technomate dish, a technomate tm2600 super and an Openbox s11, just upgraded from Openbox s9 which i did have working perfectly, but when i try to set up the s11 and put it on diseq 1.2 go to motor positioning, and try and move the motor east or west it just makes my Openbox s11 reboot and the motor doesn't move. Been on this for days and narrowed it down to when the LNB is connected to the LNB connector on the motor it "trips" or reboots my box, whether i try to move the motor either by the Openbox or manually by the motor. But when the LNB is disconnected from the motor but i leave the "reciever" connection in it will move the motor but if i connect the LNB again it wont move the motor. So it seems to me (though i'm only a beginner) that its the LNB but i just tried a brand new one and guess what, same trouble, motor light goes orange and motor wont move.
    Also i tried new cables, the wires are perfect.

    Any Help appreciated as i am at my wits end with this !!!

    hate to be the bad barer of news but.... maybe you need to google your motor make and openbox in the same sentnce and see if it''s a compatability issue.. i read that some openboxes dont work with the tm motors.. not sure if it was the 2600 or 2800
    If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

    Like i said above i had an openbox s9 set up and it was working fine with that, and i have googled many things including compatability and can't find any compatibility issues. Found others having same issues as me with some s11's but others are ok so i am snookered right behind the black here !!

    It was just the s11's i think mate kept causing reboot when trying to step east n west, i have s9 working fine here too, but mines not a tm motor, have you tried it on the usal setting instead of disq

    Think i'm gonna have to accept defeat here, can't get my s11 to work with my tm 2600 motor but my s9 does work so think its back to ebay for the s11 and roll on another s9.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply DARCU5.

    If you set the S11 on usuals it should work 100%
