![]() ![]() But my Dreambox is not further DREAMing box for me, because its hanged opp after 5 to 6 minuts and I have to plugged off and on again and again.Now I have been purchase a new Dreambox 500S. This cam module can open allmost all the channels at hotbird 13. Bit odd.Hello friends,I using Dreambox DM500s with CCcam 2.0.9. I notice sometimes that the motor only seems to want to move to 8w irrespective of what position I choose. I then tried a few Eastern sats,13e,19e and 28.2 but I didnt get a lock on any of them. Those 2 sats work perfectly.I am definitely looking at the correct sats. I then moved the dish via Gotoxx to 5w and checked the France 2 transponder (11591, V, 20000).95% signal. I tried a few more channels on 8W and they looked ok. I changed the dish elevation to 28deg and I got a good signal of 86% on France 24 transponder (10972, V, 27500). It moved slightly but I didnt get a signal. Using Gotoxx,I entered my longitude and latitude and moved the dish to 8w (nearest southerly satellite). I rotated the motor and dish to where I thought 8w was (Dishpointer).I moved the whole motor/dish together (by loosening the u-bolts on the mounting pole) I set the angle of the dish at 30-7.5 (Declination)=22.5. I have set the angle on the motor as required ,it has a scale for latitude so I set it the same as my location ,52 degrees. The dish is attached to the motor but I notice there is a slight bit of movement on the motor arm,a slight wobble,is this normal ? I notice that the brackets to attach the motor to the pole arent the best ,they seem to bend when I tighten them.I'd read that the U bolts were poor quality but it seems the bracket is the issue in my case. Its a short 2 inch diameter pole ,2 feet long.Very sturdy. My pole is attached to two T brackets about 16 inches apart (Couldnt find a K bracket ) I believe 8w is my true south satellite,my longitude is 8w. It seems to work in that the motor is moving the dish to the approximate positions. On the next page I enabled Gotoxx and entered my Longitude and Latitude and saved. In "Satellite Configuration" I chose "Many satellites via Diseqc Rotor"Ī big list of satellites came up then with sections for Sat/Position ,LNB,22khz and H/V. I've read lots of guides but I havent found one yet that details this.Īt the "Please choose your Diseqc-Configuration" window I chose "No Diseqc". I am wondering how I configure the 500s to handle the motor. Just setting up my 500s for my motorised dish. ![]()
