[QUOTE="paolik65, post: 540732, member: 298273"] Ahem, sorry Turok, but you have not yet undertood my question. I do not need autotracking function to follow inclined orbit satellites with AGC. Let me try to explain more better. The EGIS Focus Rotor I still own is very nice and it works very well but it has the big problem of every bi-axial system. Since bi-axial systems are not polar mounts the LNB skew varies a lot when you move from one satellite to another so to override this issue you can operate the EGIS rotor just using a mechanical polarizer like a Corotor C/Ku or a Polarotor Ku (like my own) and satellite receiver like my Echostar DVR 7000 which is able to control the mechanical polarotor through a 3 wires cable (+5V, skew, gnd). The problem is: the Echostar is very nice but it's old and I need a new receiver with more feautures like HD channels support and blind scan support, but there is no nowadays receiver that support the control of a mechanical polarotor and the only way is to use an Universal LNB with fixed polarization H/V. But if you use that LNB with the EGIS Focus rotor you can receive well just one satellite since the others require a different LNB skew!!!
