    That should be ok. I recall testing a motor like that. You just want to check it going to zero and moving between sat positions, I presume?

    Well you do if you want to receive anything. I thought you just wanted to play with moving the motor to see what happened when you used satfinder. Are you really up for the complexities of setting up and using a motor?

    Last question before i take the jump lol (u guys must be fed up by now)

    If i want to use the Coaxial for twin tuning can i get the motor to move without using both tuners? I know this may be a dopey question for u guys but please bear with me my plan is to get the LNB and use two Coaxials for twin tuner on my SOLO2 and try somehow to get motor to move without losing the twin tuner side of things

    Twin tuner setup:
    One cable will run to the motor from tuner A on the box and then a cable will run from motor to 1 port on LNB, set all this up as Tuner A positioner or whatever protocol you intend to use. Now run a cable from tuner B to second port on LNB, set this as second cable on motorised.
    What this set up will give you is twin tuner access to the same satellite. On a twin motorised setup one tuner is master, the other is slave, you can't have one tuner tuned to one satellite and the other tuner tuned to another satellite, they both can only tune to the same satellite at any one time.
