[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 57917, member: 176379"] Correct me if i am wrong but in the old days a polarizer or ferotor of some kind was a MUST with a motorized system as the signal was very weak at the time. Seems the whole market have lost competence today, people don't even know what a polarizer is today, most of them anyway..... Why isn't there any polarizers today you can buy? what happened to the whole market, everything seems so budget oriented today and Sky Digital killed the last few retailers making a living on selling motorized systems, there are a few retailers left but most of them went under. I don't really understand the whole issue that you don't need a polarizer, you NEED to skew the polarization over the clark belt, STAB says you don't need one as the mount is tilted when it's moved, yes but all polar mounts have always tilted when you have moved the dish, that is not special for STAB motor or any other DiSeqC motors..... People today say there is insertion loss in a polarizer, so what? the satellite signals are stronger than ever compared to when i used to have my 2 meter dishes and EIRPs down to 38dBW. Without polarizer you need to manually adjust the skew, how old isn't that? and a good polarizer like the Chaparall Polarotor had a insertion loss of maximum 0.2dB, neglible!! SMW, Chaparall doesn't make them any more, DBS market like Sky Digital and Canal Digital and all services killed the market for good. [/QUOTE]
