[vdr] Re: motorised disk

[Thomas.Bergwinkl@t-online.de (Thomas Bergwinkl)]

Hallo,

my rotor is also working on my rev 1.3 and my Nexus-S. But some users
have reported about problems, when switched to vertical polarization and
trying to drive the motor. How long is your cable from the dvb-card to
the motor? When your card can't supply enough power for rotating the
dish, then only commands like store, recalc, ... would work. (You wrote
about some recalculation)
