[QUOTE="altis, post: 89612, member: 188005"] Yes indeed, it is the Lidl CO80 dish and LNB. My choices for mounting places are very limited. There is a motorised system up the road that is on a very long poll peering over the roof. This looks ugly and is, in my view, precarious - although it is in a more sheltered position. My Metronic motor can only be mounted on the top of a pole which is why it ended up on on an L-bracket as low down as I could manage. Because of the adjacent roof, there is only room for one lashing and that would have been very high up the chimney. The bolts are M10 chemical fixing and shouldn't pull out - that's the kind of thing that climbers use. Back on topic... From my experiences, I would disuade anyone from buying a pin-up diseqc motor. As you can see from the photograph these lead to a very unbalanced set up and will almost certainly cause the motor to wear out quickly. Indeed, the French version of the manual that came with the motor warns agains moving outside +/- 45 degrees with an 85cm dish. I will invastigate returning the motor and replacing it with a pin-down model. This will also bring the dish much lower - probably below the roof line. (Hi Simba ;) ) [/QUOTE]
