[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 905747, member: 243342"] Channel Master dishes are quite heavy and are not really suitable for DiSEqC motors. This is especially the case with a 1.2m one - you could probably get away with a DiSEqC motor on a 1m but I personally wouldn't recommend it. If your dish is a 1.2m, then you will need to stay with a separate positioner option. However, your positioner might be quite old and not work together with your receiver. In other words, it might not accept DiSEqC commands from your receiver and convert them to pulse counts. A newer positioner (a VBox or a Gbox etc.) will work with your receiver as one and, once set up, you won't need to touch it. If you have any pictures of your dish and positioner then please post them here. [/QUOTE]
