I'm new to this and looking for some advice. I've done some reading I've decided to go for a motorized setup with a Gibertini 1m XP dish and Technomate TM-2600 motor. Although I'd prefer a bigger dish, I need this to be wall mounted.
Gibertini Sat Antenne OP 100 X 100 cm XP Premium Alu Anthrazit Sat Schüssel

What LNB should I be looking at? I plan to connect the dish to two receivers, although only one would be used to move the dish.

Also is there anything else I would need for this?

Thanks
 
Good choice of dish and motor. LNB wise, you won't go wrong with a twin Inverto Black Ultra and receiver..... Depends on your budget and needs. A Technomate TM5402 receiver is cheap and very capable but only one tuner. Or you can go for an all singing and dancing Vu+ Duo2. The world is your oyster.
 
Thanks Jack, I will go with the twin inverto black ultra. I already have a TM5402 M3 but the picture quality is poor compared to an openbox I have. I will hopefully upgrade once I have the new motorized dish setup (currently have a really old fixed setup).

I'm unclear on whether the dish I linked has all the mount and fixings I need to wall mount this. Do these usually come with everything needed?

Sorry CJ, but I must intercede on this occasion, I have tried approx 40 IBU twins, on the back of how good the single version was. Not one was any good at all. If, where you are you can get a GI ( Galaxy Innovations ) twin then good, if not a Best Twin is almost as good.
If you want an IBU twin, I can post you three or four foc, they don´t work well round here!
If you doubt me, ask H!
 
Yes, I've heard that the twins are not as good as the single ones. What about quads?

@Duke9, you'll need a wall mount as well as dishes don't come with those (generally, anyway).
 
I found the quad to be better than the twin.

Does the term " Monkey Poop " mean anything?
Goobay make the best quad I can buy locally.
CJ, pm me with your address and I´ll send you a few unwanted BU twins and a Quad for you to test.
 
I actually have a Twin on my motorised dish at the moment.

The focal neck is tiny compared to the single & also the quad, which also has a nice long neck to play with.

OK
Something to play with

Top centre, GI Single, not as good as the original Black Ultra single ( red badge ) but as good as the new white badge
Next line, two BU twins, shi* lnb´s compared to the original BU single ( red badge ), not a patch on line 3
GI Twin, my personal favourite for use here in Spain, Best Twin is second. Right side, BU Quad, ok ish, but GI quad is better and Goobay is best.
Would have posted Goobay but it is dark in the van and couldn´t find it!
 
In retrospect, I was a little harsh on the BU Quad, it is better than the twin, but the Goobay is better in my opinion.
 
That's weird, honestly remember my quad having a longer neck than the twin. I wonder if they revised one or the other?

Just checked with a ruler, the quad has 3-4mm more usable neck on the ones I have
 
I bought a Jaeger SuperMount 90U for £17 - cheap enough - in hope that it would replace the eBay H-to-H motor that I failed miserably with... Has anyone used these before? What's the rated dish size on these?
