My existing LNB has servo motor and I have a Topfield 3000CIPro that is not capable of driving it. What is the best alternative so I can utilise the it?

You got 4 alternatives,
-Toss out your LNB/Servo motor and purchase a cheap chinese LNBF.
-Purchase a cheap Analogue Rx with Servo operated mechanism on the back of it.(Plenty around going for a song.)
-Sell the Topfield,buy another Digital STB eg.Strong 4800II has the connectors on the back for a servo motor.
-Contact Av-Comm in Sydney,If I remember,they had a external switch to operate the servo motor. :?:

The cheap analog is your best bet

I got a strong LNBF 15K from Norsat in WA for less than $50 and it work fine. It is much better than a lot of those more expensive one.

Those servo motors, in the little Blue box, where a pain in the arse, Some worked, Some refused to work, Some ran all the time.
As someone said you would be better getting an LNB with electronic switching..
And while its quite possable that your LNB will work with Digital, there is a chance that it won't

The Hyundai 800, has Servo controls, 5 volts on the back.
