Thinking of buying a Gbox V3000

If you need to control the servo with an old analog receiver it probably would be easier if it also controlled the actuator motor. Wouldn't be very user friendly to use 3 components to watch satellite TV..... the Gbox for actuator, analog receiver for polarity servo and the AZbox for channel tuning.

It doesn't matter what bands the analog receiver supports as you will only be using it to control where the dish points and select the polarity.

Connect the actuator and the servo to the analog receiver and program each satellite position. Connect the LNBs to the AZbox and either use a multi-switch modified to provide 18+vdc on all LNB ports or set the AZbox to only horizontal polarity and use a DiSEqC or 22khz switch to select the band.

This will be a pain in the rear manage..... Personally I would swap out the feedhorn assembly to either an inexpensive LNBF or if you require performance, an orthofeed.
