Installing your own motorised dish, or perhaps a large dish, you might want to consider hiring a scaffold tower, makes a high level dish installation really easy, particularly useful for your first motorised installation.

There are also other easy to use options available, hopefully we can explore these in this thread.:)

If you can provide a youtube clip or photo (with permission), this would be ideal.:)

Couldn't agree more, personal safety is paramount.

Even easier, get a Z10 no special licence required and a working height of 10.8m. Really easy to use and £99 for the day, used them before.

Can you take a picture of yours next time you use it Nick?

Also, how much are they?
