[QUOTE="Samsnake, post: 67898, member: 177127"] I need your help and advice on how I should upgrade my system to access more satellites either, with a motor or with multiple LNB's? My funds are limited, budget around 100 pounds....Apologies if this issue has been discussed at length before. My STB is a dreambox (no 36v output) and my dish is a 1.2m fortec star (heavy at 17kg's). So far I have moved my dish manually which was fun at first but now a pain in the neck! The range of sats I have used to date are 19E, 13E, 1W and 30W. I could use multiple LNB's and switches for say 19E, 13E, 5E and 1W and could possibly live without 30W??? (Cheap, quick zapping and reliable but limited sat access) or, am I missing some good value viewing on sats I have yet to try with a motor? My concern is that a Disecq motor may not be durable enough since I am at the extreme of the operating window - 1.2m dia and 17kgs max - I am always surfing the channels so it would be swinging from left to right...every night! If I was to take the 36v route, funds permitting, I would need a Vbox, polar mount, actuator and replace my cable, not sure I would get approval from higher authorities for such luxury!!! Obviously you get what you pay for.....so: Do I buy the LNB's? (Cheapest but restrictive) Do I buy a Disecq motor (Worried about reliability) Do I buy 36v System (to be honest too expensive) unless anyone knows of any good deals... Your feedback will be much appreciated Samsnake [/QUOTE]
