My Satellite Setup
Zone 1 Mini Dish with a Quad LNB Feeding Astra 2 and EB 1 to a Humax Faxsat-HDR 500 and a Humax Foxsat-HD, A Quad LNB on the same Zone 1 Mini Dish Feedind Astra 1 to a Humax Foxsat-HD via a 2 port DiseqC Switch

I'm upgrading my Freesat Dish from a 45cm Zone 1 Mini Dish to a 60cm Zone 2 Mini Dish due to recent reception problems. I know that the Cable and LNB are fine as I replaced the LNB and Installed New Cable when I moved into the Property as it was easy to access the LNB arm, and I'm not sure on the alignment as it's a bit awkward to get to the back of the Dish and align it, and as I'm upgrading the Dish I'm considering adding a Motor to the setup but I'm unsure which of the two Motors that are in my price range to go for.

Choice one is the New Horizons NH-210 DISEqC 1.2 Motor at £37.95 on eBay

or

Choice two is the MOTECK SG2100A DISEqC Motor at £39.95 on eBay

I'm not an expert in Motorized Satellite so I'm unsure about Motors so any advice would be welcome.

Go for something a bit larger than a Zone 2. Neither motor will really care, and neither you lose any sleep for the sake of a couple of quid.
 
I used a moteck 2100 motor on my 90cm setup for over 5 years without any issues, my neighbour is using it now.

Where the dish needs to go there is limited space as it's got to be mounted on the balcony, so need something that leaves space to set it up & I only want 28e,19e and 13e and any other strong satellite.

I've not got a set date for motorizing as it's only as and when I can afford it, & sorting out the Freesat signal is top priority, that's why I was going to use a Zone 2 as I currently want the best signal I can get from 28e.

But at the price of dishes on ebay I can always get a Zone 2 until I can afford to splash out on a better dish.
