Please provide some information about the hard- and software used.
I have a Dreambox 7000-S receiver. I use the standard 1.09 image.
I used to use a 36v 80cm dish with a V-Box between the Dreambox and the dish. This worked fine.
I replaced this dish with a 80cm Diseqc dish with Metronic motor.
The Dreambox receives signals fine, and controls the dish OK most of the time. Maybe one dish movement of of 4 or 5, the dish moves, but the Dreambox hangs - it does not respond to any remote signals, and I need to turn it off and on using the front panel controls. I am pretty sure the CPU has crashed.
The Dreambox power supply is notorious for being under-designed. I think that when the motor takes power to move, there is a dip or noise on the Dreambox CPU power supply which causes it to hang.
Is there a box on the market which I can put between the Dreambox and the dish which
a) is independently powered
b) supplies the power needed to move the dish to the motor
c) copies Diseqc commands from the receiver to the motor
d) passes the receiver switch signals (H/V etc) to the LNB
e) passes the LNB signals to the receiver
Thanks for your help.
