Hi, I've had a STAB HH120 for almost 14 years but have not used it these last 4/5 years. I used to drive it via a Dreambox 9020S and when that stopped working I switched to cable and sort of forgot about satellite. Now, I've just bought a Vu+ Solo4K and after connecting it to the system I...

Thanks for your input! I think it will be really helpful to try this experiment. My setup does not have any switches. I only have one LNB connected to the rotor and around 20 metres of cable. So, the resistor goes in the LNB and the other end I can put it to ground with the LNB arm (for...

@Tururu If I understood correctly, you can use an Alps tuner from a DM7020Si in a DM7020S but you cannot replace a DM7020Si tuner with one from a DM7020S. Si he entendido bien , usted puede poner un sintonizador Alps de un DM7020Si en un DM7020S pero no puede reemplazar el sintonizador...

Will do.

There is the possibility of obtaining a non-functional box which is a rev K 2007. Will it have an Alps tuner, and if so, will it be compatible with the Philips tuner - as a direct replacement?

@Tururu I tried the settings suggested in the attached pictures with the increase in voltage and the motor input power increase to 100mA. The rotor still does not move. I'll try to call a friend with a 7020S like mine and try his power supply so at least I narrow down the problem. If it is...

Thank you all for your replies. In my haste to post a question I forgot to mention that I had performed the network hack of replacing C5906 and C5907 capacitors with tantalum capacitors of 4.7uF/35V. The original caps were removed completely. I hope that this did not mess other things as...

I have already had a very good look at the caps but none has the tell tale domed top unfortunately. Would they still be under-performing if they're not domed?

Hi to all, It's been a while since I posted anything here. As a matter of fact, it's been a while since I tried anything with my DM7020 :) The reasons are two: work and sat problems. Problems come in the form of the STB not moving my Stab HH120 rotor at all. To test, I borrowed an old StarSat...

:confused: Hi, My brother just bought this superb receiver and installed instead of his old Nokia 9200S. His setup is 1.1m dish, 2LNB's, Hotbird at the centre and Astra a bit offset, with a diseqc switch. The problem is that certain channels which are on Hotbird like most Italian stations and...

Hi, I'm thinking of installing a Technomate 1500CI receiver with a motorised dish. I have trouble deciding which motor to get. The Moteck SG2100 or a STAB 100? I know they are both supported by the receiver but....If I get the Moteck (which is almost half the price of the STAB) will the...

Wow guys, Yuo are surely fast. 2 replies in under 10 minutes is something. I will check with my friend the name of the software and will try interesting devices to see if they can help. They used to have a download section on the old design webpage but not anymore now. Will definately keep...

This programmer is around a year old or a bit more. I know that interesting devices do not sell it any more. They must have changed its name or improved it somehow.

Hi, A friend has this brand new mk3 programmer from interesting devices. It is still brand new as he never used it (he is very busy). I would like to have a crack at using it and would like some kind info on what type of software to use with it. The one that came with it is in dos and has...

Hi to all, A friend of mine had bought a mk 3 programmer from Interesting devices. This programmer came with all sorts of attachemnts, a zif socket, a daughter board to go on the zif socket etc. The software is a let down as it is in dos and not much help is provided with it. The site does...
