    ive recently bought echostar AD-3000 IP receiver and wish to attach it to a motorised dish (diseqc 1.2 compatible). problem being is that echostar AD-3000 IP is only diseqc 1.0 compatible according to the manual. is there a way to upgrade to diseqc 1.2 at all?

    I thought the 3000 had an inbuilt positioner?
    Diseqc 1.0 is actually more i demand as you can control up to 30 LNb's with it.

    yes it does have an in-bulit positioner. im quite new to this, but i need to hook it up to some kind of a motor to make it go :) left and right. im not prepared to take control over 30 lnbs .... yet :) only to get one of them working would be a fantastic feat for myself.

    does diseqc matter in this problem or do i just need to get a motor?

    If you can download a 1.0-1.2 patch from the above site then buy a Diseqc motor, if not then get a non diseqc motor.

    The difference.

    A diseqc motor is essentially the positioner+motor rolled into one as it has its own memory and likkle processor but the limit for dish size is a light 1.2M dish.

    A standard motor is reliant on a positioner for its own power supply and to store dish positions.

    I dont know if it can be patched but would be supprised if it cant, and a H2H Disqec system is a brezze to setup.
