[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 482187, member: 256551"] :)Hi dream33r, Welcome to the forum. Yes a 1 metre motorised should suit well. The first thing you need to figure out though is a place to put it. South south west to North north east will give you a pretty good view of the arc, as Analogue says SE to SW is where most of the decent satellites are located. What dish and motor to get depends how much you have to spend. A budget Diseqc motor and 1m dish would certainly cost less than £100, whereas a quality dish such as a channel Master ( now Andrews) and a decent 36V motor could cost 2-3 times that amount. We can help you on the forums if you need help, loads of members have motorised systems of all types. The basic principles of operation of any motorised dish however are very similar. Robbo:) EDit:- If you have a SKY Dodgy box, keep the minidish. It won't like it on a motorised dish. A motorised dish is much more flexible than a mult-LNB setup, and you will be able to get weaker satelites. (On a multi LNB only one LNB is at the dish focus). The disadvantage is you have to wait for the motor to move, but I think it is a better option. [/QUOTE]
