[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 109733, member: 176379"] No, the right way to install the dish is to use the existing pole you received and dig a large hole in the ground, i would say 1,5 meter deep and 60-70cm i diameter, put a bar right thru the pole so it doesn't twist when it's windy or loose it's position in the concrete. Put the pole in the ground in a perfect level position and put concrete in it and let it burn. Fill the inside of the pole with concrete as well. The motor you have there is a 36V motor, Diseqc didn't exist in the 80's, it came long afterwards for being a cheap budget solution to keep costs down and ease installations. Real motors use 36V and they are fast. if the motor works good then i don't see any reason to buy a new one, just lubricate the actuator arm with grease and take away all rust. You could buy cable at ELFA in Solna, they have good KTV cable [url="http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=se&vat=0&dok=182523.htm"]http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=se&vat=0&dok=182523.htm[/url] They have F-connectors also.....
