[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 99065, member: 176379"] That was alot of text....... Try to answer some questions. You have to contact DH for exact price quote as i don't have the complete pricelist, i assume the H-H mount or Gibraltar would be excellent for your requirements. It's all up to what you want to spend, i would choose a DH antenna and the EGIS rotor from Germany but that costs alot of money. When it comes to LNBs i think SMW stil makes the worlds best LNBs with WR75 flange, you really don't need an SMW LNB with PLL lock, DRO is enough. The SMW is 5 times more expensive than the Invacom, you pay for quality with SMW, it's only up to you what you want to spend...... If i would use a Corotor or any other combined C/Ku-band feed i would choose a Ku-band LNB with WR75 flange or else you need an adapter to transform the waves correctly. Close second i think Norsat comes but they don't have an LNB that covers the whole band 10.7-12.75GHz, you have to check with them about that. The Technomate receiver you have can drive AZ/EL motor. I do know that the Echostar LT8700 can't do that as i owned that receiver myself once. Yes, you have one cable to run to both C-band and Ku-band LNB's, you use a two-port switch to switch between the LNBs and then one cable to the receiver. The dialectric plate for C-band in the feed doesn't really affect the performance of Ku-band signals if you install the plate at exactly H or V position. Corotor+ International comes with built-in dialectric plate that is installed correctly, so does Seavey. However the Corotor have pretty high losses in Ku-band as i used to own one myself and it didn't last long til i replaced it with Seavey which was much better. What i want to say is that a 2.4meter dish with Corotor will perform as a 1.5 meter dish at Ku-band, Seavey is much better. [/QUOTE]
