    Motor power cuts out after a few movements

    Just arrived purchased from you -Zgemma H7 twin tuner with OpenVix flashed . New Technomate TM2600 motor latest version. Motor set up using TM5402V2 - no problems . 1m aluminium dish with Invacom LNB.
    When the Zgemma is connected ( either tuner ) it is fine for moving to the first 2 or 3 satellites but after that the motor just goes dead, ( motor indicator lamp goes out ) requiring a power down and reboot. The same motor works fine with my Amiko HD 265 receiver and my old TM5402HD receiver.
    My guess is that the Zgem is sensing too much current, is there something to configure in the image for this?

    for a long time there has been this issue with most (all ??) of the zgemma range. (i am not sure about the h9 models)
    I know that as a work around you can use a low power lnb that will solve the issue, like this one

    also.......
    I believe that the pure2 image has a fix for this issue, i cant test it myself as i have the low power lnb already on the zgemma's dish and the other dish uses a 36v ram.
    Would be interested to hear back your results

    I spent some time trying to fix the issue right back when the sh1 models came out, tried different power supplies of various voltages / amperage but ultimately the voltage and amperage supplied to the motor/lnb is controlled by the boxes tuner.

    Like i said above, the pure2 team have a fix that i cant test, simply try that image and see
