[QUOTE="stef, post: 5974"] Thanks for your reply 2old I think I have found a setup that would meet my requirements it is made up of: 80cm High Gain Dish Echostar AD3000ip via 10in or 12in Motor Wall Mount/Polar Mount FREE installation Kit This setup is priced at £550, which I think sounds like a good deal. I have still to get on the phone and check this out yet but before I do I would like your comments on some changes I have been thinking about. The 80cm dish would do but I wonder how much of a difference a Gregorian Dish would make. I remember reading somewhere that the difference roughly translates to the next dish size up i.e. 80cm=1m. Is this true? I like the idea of putting on a twin output LNB on the dish. Are there any problems with this. I realise that the ideal situation is to have two seperate dishes, one dedicated solely to Astra 28.2 The restriction of living in a conservation area mean that there is no way I can have more than one dish. I have to confess that I can't completely understand the difference between using the "10 or 12 inch Motor" and an H to H Motor. I believe the H to H is better for tracking the orbital track, this I can understand but if this is this case universally then why is the other method still used? I thought it might be related to the size of dish used but I have seen systems for sale in all combinations. Anyway, with the system I am describing would I be better to use the above or an H to H mount. And finally, can anyone recommend an installer of motorised dishes up here on the East coast of Scotland. Is there pehaps another forum to ask this question in? Stef [/QUOTE]
