    Introduction VBOX is a 2-in-1, full-function antenna positioner for motorized satellite antenna systems. It can work as a traditional, DiSEqC1.2 positioner. Before installing the VBOX DiSEqC positioner, please verify which type of satellite receiver you are using. You can give each satellite position a name to help you easily find the satellite. As a stand-alone positioner If your receiver is not DiSEqC1.2 compatible, the VBOX will act as a standalone positioner.
