Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davor" data-source="post: 614913" data-attributes="member: 324406">I am using SkyStar HD2 with Selfsat H21D-2 satellite antenna and Selfsat HH90 motor and latest version of DVBViewer and drivers soft_skystar-hd-2_version_1.2_6612. The problem that I have is that the motor will not turn if connected to the LNB. The motor makes short stuttering noise (but doesn’t turn) as if it lacks power, and sometimes doesn’t do anything at all. When I disconnect it from the LNB, then it works well.First I thought the cable between motor and Skystar was too long, so I connected it with an 2m coax (75Ohm), but the problem remains. I checked the amperage, and the motor consumes some 100-150mA on 17-18V when turning. While turning, if I connect it to the LNB, the turning speed reduces, and the setup consumes some 300-350mA. When the motor stops, and I try to turn again (through DVBViewer), it will not work. I always have to disconnect the LNB to let the motor turn.This makes me think that the Skystar doesn’t supply enough power to the motor when LNB is connected to it. This is strange as I explicitly bought the Skystar because it has an external molexconnector for extra power, which is connected to the computer’s 450W PSU.Note that this is a similar issue as described in <a href="http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/satellite-pc-card-systems-internet-satellite/137688-ss-2-hd-moving-dish-via-diseqc-only-works-occasionally.html" target="_blank">this thread</a>.I have mailed Technisat about this issue and am still waiting for a reply. I’ll keep it updated here.I don’t know what to do except to buy some powered amplifier, but then again I am not sure if that will work either. I want to make it work with Skystar alone which supports DiSEqC 1.2 and has an external power capability. Is there any software option that can solve this issue?</blockquote>
