I'm about to buy a 1.2 meter Prime Focus dish, with stand and motor.
I've got a couple of questions, which I hope someone out there can help me with. I'm very new to all this satellite stuff. )
The motor on the dish is not new (as far as I know).
I can't control the motor through the receiver (DiSEqC).
Is there any other way to control it? I want to be able to move the dish between 1 degree West (Thor + Intelsat) and 5 degree east (Sirius 3). Would it still work, even if the motor isn't of a new standard?
The guy I'm going to buy it from, says that it should work. He hasn't used it for years though. It sounded like he didn't know a lot about it either.
I know almost nothing about dish motors, especially not old ones, so I hope that someone out there could help me.
