[QUOTE="daaahhnuh, post: 925398, member: 404576"] Hi all, I currently have a Zone 1 mini-dish pointing at 28E on the front of the house with a Spaun multiswitch pumping TV, FM/DAB and SAT to all the rooms. However, I'm quite keen to get a motorised system for feed hunting and was looking for some advice. I don't have the most ideal house for a motorised system. I have the front of the house pointing North East and the back of the house pointing South West and it's a mid terrace. So I've been contemplating where to mount a dish. I'm not keen to mount huge dish on the front and I won't see all of the arc. Neither am I keen to mount on the back as I imagine there would need to be a huge great pole to clear the apex of the roof to get line of sight to the eastern birds. If I mount it on the shed at the end of the garden, I can see all the way to 55W and beyond (I'm quite high up) and get to about 28E before the apex of the house roof gets in the way (using one of the augmented dish pointer apps on my phone). I was just wondering if there was anything of use past 28E? From what I can gather most feed activity seems to be on 15W, 24.5W, 16E. Also, the shed seems quite good for maintenance, etc. Was thinking something similar to this: [url]http://www.purplesat.com/web_images/knutsford_1a.jpg[/url] I was thinking maybe an 80cm dish? Anyone got any good recommendations and also what motor? I think I'd prefer to use USALS as my DM800HD supports it and it seems easier to set up. Although, I am thinking of upgrading the receiver as I have discovered it cannot display 4:2:2 (so I end up having to stream them to VLC on the laptop) and also it cannot seem to handle 16ASPK modulation. I'm also looking at also getting a TBS5925 USB tuner for the modulation issue, as they seem to be the flavour of the month on here. From reading on other forums (VU+ Community) there seems to be some drivers for MIPS (although not released officially by TBS). Unless anyone knows of any Enigma 2 based receivers with 16ASPK modulation and will display 4:2:2 feeds? So many questions! [/QUOTE]
