[QUOTE="Simba27, post: 67402, member: 182734"] I have the Metronic motor too. It seems to work quite well and is not particularly noisy. I haven't had any complaints from the neighbours. It seems well made and is not too difficult to setup once you understand what you are doing. It really does move very quickly. A little too quick sometimes because when searching for a weak satellite you often zoom right past it before the signal indicator has a chance to respond. The speed is of little benefit to me because my cheapie Lidl receiver insists on counting down 30 seconds even if the motor stops moving after 10. I would certainly recommend getting a motor. It's amazing how many satellites and stations you can receive in good weather, even with a relatively small dish (mine's 80cm). It's a lot of fun just searching for them, even if you don't actually watch any of them. Phil. [/QUOTE]
