Are you using a vbox 2 ?

I think I read that the Dm800 has a lower amp power adapter and it struggles to drive some motors, if you have a dm500 you could try that power pack (it wont blow it, I have used it on mine)

As said, some motors aren't driven by the lower power in the dreamboxes... There is an "increase voltage" option in the settings somewhere, but I can't remember where. Maybe someone else can help. iirc, you have to go through advance setup, but not 100% sure...

You could try it on an m8's setup before you skid it down the road.

Menu Button > Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Config > Advanced ;)

what works for me on dm800 is to manually move (via button on motor)
to sat then save on dreambox as position 1 (or whatever)
dm doesnt drive motor well, but fine tuning ie step motor is ok
