[QUOTE="saucy77, post: 367963, member: 252652"] Cheers for the info Topper. Having taken on board what you have said, it would probably be simpler to just get a new box and a motor for the dish. Was looking around and came across Echostar DSB-707, would this work with a motorized dish? A friend of mine suggested Echostar and Manhattan reciever's. Would you suggest changing the LNB also? I noticed it is stated to use 0.3db LNB, but I am not sure what one is on this dish I have. But I should be able to get a motor for it, i think. Do you have any ideas on where I can source these parts cheaply. The cheapest I've seen the LNB is around the £29 mark excl p+p, and as for the motor, that would be my most expensive piece at present until the reciever comes along at around the £50 excl p+p. I noticed there was a member who made he's own motor, this I think would be a great idea. But obviously being a woman, it's probably beyond my capabilties. (just noticed it was you, lol) Open to all suggestions [/QUOTE]
