    Help re: C band NOAAport LNB wiring

    LNB servo motor wires. Sorry,i meant LNB.I am of the impression that you can not connect servo motor wires to the most recent receivers.Is there a way around this other than to purchase a LNBF.

    Help re: C band NOAAport LNB wiring

    LNB servo motor wires. Thanks for the response.My dish is moving.Does it follow that there is no way that a LNBF with a servo motor can be used with a receiver,without a connecting port for the three wires.

    Help re: C band NOAAport LNB wiring

    LNB wiring Referring to my earlier post on this thread can someone please advise me the position with regard to the servo motor wires ,where there is not a connecting facility on the newer receivers.Also if the servo motor is removed will any current in the coax turn the skew.

    Help re: C band NOAAport LNB wiring

    LNB wiring As a matter of interest ,in the case of a moving system,using a receiver without a connecting jack for the servo motor wires,will the coax supply the power to move the skew.It follows that the three wires are not connected anywhere.
