Hi everyone. I am new to this wonderful site which is a great source of information.
I find myself in a dilema and need some advice.
I have a ten year old 1.0 motorised dish, 12" Superking actuator,0.7db lnb and Uniden UST-881 positioner. All in working order as I have used sly digibox add channels to recieve 28.2E and 13.E but nothing else (not really suprising as I mounted the dish and I don't think it's exactly vertical. The feed arm is also slightly corroded at the bend but not beyond saving or should I replace it?).
I am considering purchasing either a Technomate 1500 CI+ or 7755 2VA 2CI.
Is it possible to use my existing dish with either of these receivers?
If so will I have to manually position the dish when I move from one bird to another?
Or will I need to purchase a V-box to convert the receiver Diseqc to 36v?
Or maybe because of it's age and corrosion I should consider replacing the dish with a Moteck SG2100A 1.2 Diseqc motor, 80cm dish and new 0.3dB lnb.
Should I try and mix my old dish with the new digital reciever or would it be better to start a fresh with a new system?
Any recommendations on reputable reasonable supplier?
Thanks!!
