Standard connection. From the DVB receiver (or card in the case
of VDR) to the motor (Stab HH 100) to the LNB. As I stated, it
works with my Nokia and with WatchTVPro, so it` not a wiring
or technical problem. I used to have an LNB preamp, which caused
troubles with the motor (even on my Nokia), but I removed it
quite a while ago. The preamp probably screws up the diseqc
commands.

I tried that first, but the motor didn't move, which is why I
tried the above.

Oh, sorry misunderstanding on my part. But there is a satellite
stored on postion 20 (would be Arabsat for my config)

No, sorry. I only have the binaries ;o)) and I donīt have a diseqc
signal analyser.

Thanks, after sleeping a few hours I read this in the conf file.
I guess I shouldn't be working at 3:00 AM ;o))

Please also see my response to Klaus.
