The situation was the same with my current and previous motorised set-ups.If the cable is short (e.g. I tried with 2m cable) then Dreambox moves the motor, but with long cable it does not.When I first set-up the Dreambox, it used to drive motor OK for a little while, and then deteriorated to not reliably moving motor, to final stage of not moving motor at all.The other point is that I have 2nd Dreambox 800HD (original) that I purchased 1 year ago, hoping to solve my problem, however, this one also did not want to move motor, and basically situation was identicalHave also tried other things, e.g. different 25m/30m cables, different LNBs, a 3rd motor which was a Technomate motor.However, the problem always the same, and only constant elements really are that it is same Gemini/enigma 2 clone image, and that cable is 25-30m.Therefore, I currently use a 2nd receiver, namely a Technomate TM-5200D M2+ receiver, to drive the motor, and the signal is then looped through to Dreambox where I watch the channel.In addition, moving to a single satellite on the Technomate receiver is not always enough to get the channel on the Dreambox, and often I need to move the Technomate receiver to specific transponder on the satellite, before I can switch back to viewing the channel on the Dreambox.There is a lot of back and forth, and it not very pleasant experience, and only reason that I did not change anything further is because I am used to working with the Dreambox, and it's different possibilities, and I really don't know what else to try.Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Best regards,Zoran</blockquote>
