[QUOTE="Chris_Lawn, post: 12054, member: 175358"] Crikey - that sounds complicated. Do you know any installer in the Tyne & Wear area who would definitely know what he was doing? My installer hadn't a clue? I have a little hunch about this satellite - which may just be a total waste of money on my part. Cheers, Chris Taking everything into consideration, (cost, complexity, the need to view other geostationary satellites, installer loyalty, and most importantly ease of use), it would be best to keep what you have and install a separate 1.5m dish in the garden that link it to the existing system using a manual IF switch. The positioning system could be a simple 36 volt actuator driven by a two button controlling box, the signal strength given by the receiver would be a rough but ready way of tracking the satellite. If the dish is visible from indoors it might even be possible to put a marker stick next to the boom arm and elevate the dish to the right position based on an hourly check of its angle of dangle Why this sudden interest in E2F3 ?What have I been missing ?
