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. | I certainly wouldn't advise putting a 1.1m dish on a DiseqC motor in an exposed position, you may be better off going for something like the Gilbertini 1.2m with a polarmount.

Is there much involved in setting up a 36 volt motor as ive just heard they are a lot sturdier than diseqc i have the budget to get the most suitable for the job. Many thanks. | ||

If your receivers doesn't support 36V positioning then you will require a V box. The setting up principle is the same but more involved although personally not done a actuator/polar SM  | ||

My System: Force T90, 1.2m Andrew, Triax TD64, Triax 17x6 Mutiswitch, Promax Prolink-4C Spectrum Analyser | Wouldn't go for a DiSEqC motor myself for that size dish in an exposed location. Try the Jaeger Supermount 99g or the Triax polar mount. | ||

My System: triax td88 motorised, Vantage x221tsci, tms-1500ci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, zone 2 minidish - setanta | best would be to use the polar mount for the triax dish or if you've not bought the dish yet then take a look at a gibertini dish with polar mount there's not a lot in the set up of the polar mount just make sure pole is 100% level then set the polar mount elevation with an inclinometer/angle finder and then adjust the dish on the reference satellite which for your area as its ireland will be 5 or 8west depending on your longitude | ||
