[QUOTE="michael01707, post: 504788, member: 260975"] I also had no idea what size actuator arm I needed, you can see from [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/101005-help-replacement-parts.html"]this post[/URL]. The actuator in that photo turned out to be a 12 inch arm. On that 1.2m I could get from 30w to 33e with a 12 inch and on my 1.2m channel master I can see from 30w to 45w with an 18 inch. I think the quoted size is measured by how much the actual arm extension is. You don't need to do anything before installing but my advice would be to wire it up first before attaching it to the polar mount. Also work out what you want your most westerly satellite to be as you will want to attach your arm completely retracted whilst the dish is pointed to that satellite. [/QUOTE]
