My System: 1.2m dish and lg decoder |
Hi all. I have just purchased a second hand 1.2m Channel Master dish, from a friend, but he has dumped the manhattan starlight decoded. He told me that I will have to buy a new decoder with a built in positioner, to move the dish. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what decoder I will need, to get up and running. Cheers.

My System: 1.2M & 55cm Gregorian Dish`s, 1.5m Gibertini on a Jaeger 1224 H-H motor. Dreambox 7025 200gb HD, Vbox-II. SS2 Card. | I would have thought he was using 36v actuator, as a disec motor would be too small for a c/m 1.2m If thats the case your going to need a stb with a 36v positioner.

My System: 1.2m dish and lg decoder |
Thanks guys. The dish has a DiSEqC motor/actuator fitted, but I can easily change that. Not long to pay day so i will get the stuff ordered up, and then have a go at setting it up. Thanks to all for the advice. Scooby5654 | ||
