[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1108444, member: 178786"] For a 2.0m dish I would not use a diseqc motor. I think a polar mount or H-H mount or Az/El mount is needed for a 2.0m dish. If you want to get C-Band feeds I think you need to go larger than 2.0m, a 3.0m dish would be better on USA satellites. You will also need some type of controller for the motorised mount. Your TBS6903 card is decent spec, it is classed by TBS as a Pro grade card, personally I would stick with that for now and see how it copes with the new dish setups. Some manufacturers produce a Ka-Band specific dish, supposedly manufactured to finer tolerances and sometimes increased parabolic reinforcement to maintain the profile. Personally, I have found that a standard dish does the job with a Ka-Band LNB. If you want to buy off the shelf Ka-Band LNB's have a look at the range sold by Norsat and XMW. If you are prepared to buy new dish equipment you could contact DH Satellite, they are based in the USA and will have most things to meet your needs. [/QUOTE]
