Powermax V-Box with OpenBox S9

[chadg2]

I'm thinking about getting a v-box to move my 10ft c/ku dish. I can't find a manual online for the Powermax V-box. My question is how would I hook this to my S9 to move the dish since I'm using a 4-port DISEqC switch to change between C/Ku lnbf's and a stationary dish pointed at Telstar 14k. Have been using my 4DTV as a mover only and want to eliminate it. Thanks, Chad

The coax cable that currently goes to your C-band lnbf ( whatever Diseqc port that might be, I'm using Diseqc 2) will first go to the Vbox, then on to the C-band lnbf. You'll also need the control cable from the Vbox to the actuator . That's my Gbox setup, and I'm sure it will work for you. Then, of course, you'll have to memorize the positions across the arc. Good luck.

do you mean the v-box won't store the positions from sat. to sat. once I program them in, so I can move back and forth with my c-band actuator & openbox without remembering the counts each time?

No , the Vbox DOES store the postions across the arc. I didn't mean that YOU, personally, would have to remember the positions. The Openbox/Vbox combo should handle your needs just fine.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
