Fitted a new motorised dish today but had to extend the coax cable,the this extension in place the motor is getting no power,tested the sat receiver in the garden connected with a short lead and it worked ok,anyway of joining cable so power still reaches the motor or is it a case of running a new length?

Have made the joint with an f connector,but have found out off another site that no matter how you join them it will allways effect the voltage being sent to the motor even though joining for a normal non motorised dish works fine

Any significant resistance in the connection will reduce the voltage under load. However, the DiSEqC motor doesn't take much more current than an OCTO LNB so, provided the cables are joined correctly, it should be fine.
