    Default DM500 do work with moteks

    Before the crash there was a discussion on how a DM 500 does not work with a motek, well as I said then and say again now they do work with a motek and a small demo from mine is here on this link showing 4 Ku birds here in Asia.

    Yes they also work with normal move dishes (again all ours do on 3.2m C/Ku without a hitch) once you enable and set up diseqc 1.2 (not part of this).

    Cheers

    The PSU is the weak point....
    I have a camera bag
    It has a 12V SLA battery in the base
    It has a 12V lead for the dm500, a 12V 7" screen

    Top little potable sat finder
    The 12V supply also help sort out dodgy power supply caps in the SMPS

    The DM500 will work as long as the power supply can handle 12v 1.5a, the last lot of original DM500s came out with the updated power supplies and this goes for most of the clones as well, if you have the older all black brick with figure 8 power cable it will RUN HOT and not be reliable, but the later black with silver label bricks will handle it as well as the piggy back version, If anyone want any, I have some here. just PM me.

    Damn this is really old news. The information about a moteck being driven off a 500 was also a big thread back in the old database as well Jonc. Maybe you should go searching on the other big dreambox sites out there as this subject has been really well covered a million times and has just been covered "again" by cmoore.
    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    What part of your post have i mistaken then? You have stated that their was a thread saying it couldn't be done, and I have stated that their was a thread that stated it could be done and it was there a long time before you came along. Its a topic which has also been covered on many of the other dreambox forums too.

    Exactly old news indeed, very old news posted all over the web. On the upside it is old news that is no longer on the system after the crash, else I would have used the threads that used to be here.

    But there again new proof as you love too see.

    Jonny come lately indeed, but it is better to come late than not come at all
