I've just been into my local electrical shop who also installs satellite systems. Anyway I asked him if he had ever installed a motorised system and he said yes, but he would never do another one as they are too hard to do. I told him I was getting a motor and he said get a bracket to hold 2 lnbs instead, then I could get Astra 1 and Eutelsat (I thought the twin lnb couldn't pick up Eutelsat, just Astra 1 and Hotbird). He said a motor is only set to pick up 2 or 3 sats, I said that's rubbish cos you can set it yourself. He basically told me I was wrong and I'd be better off getting the twin lnb. I said oh I got a new 80cm dish, to which he replied, that won't do you much good, you can't pick anything up with that. I told him that when I move my dish manually I can pick up at least 4 satellites, so his theory is not right. He was so condescending, it really bugged me. I'm still waiting for my motor to arrive from Germany, the days are just sooooo long. LOL. He has put me right off.
