You can motorise a really small dish if you want, but your choice will be limited to say 13E,19E,23.5E,28E,42E + a few others. Most people go for an 80cm to 1m dish for a Diseqc motor. Robbo

Another question slightly different though. Is there likely to be signal decay because of distance from dish to receiver with the technology these days? | |||

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Yes, that is a measurable factor, determined by the type of cable you use over the distance. How long is the cable run? Also have a look at the Fracarro Penta 85cm dish, our supporting advertiser High Definition Ltd sells them.

This cable has a foam filled dielectric, there are also semi-air spaced dielectric cables such as WC100, which is less crush resistant but performs the same. Robbo
