Well having moved on a bit from earlier this year I've got myself a motor to move on from just a multi-lnb setup (although I do plan in coming back to that) which I talked about in this thread. I haven't touched it yet since I first set it up other than to add a new LNB (mentioned below) slightly adjust my longtitude setting on my receiver which seems to compensate a small arc-tracking problem. Not really sure if I should go back to it yet as I'm worried a little bit that I'll screw something up!
Anyway, dish is a 1m CDtronix, motor is an Alsat Dark Motor Superior from World of Satellite, LNB is a single output Inverto Black Ultra with single output - I was planning in originally getting a double or quad output but I decided to leave it for now to see where the best focal point is as on this dish it appears to be quite far forward from the front of the arm though I haven't had a chance to properly look at it yet. Cable at the moment is come RG6 with CCA core and aluminium braid & foil. When a more permanent installation is ready to go in the WF100 is sitting there ready to use. 1 metre tall patio mount, attached to heavy flag paving stone with coach bolt which can be adjusted to be plumb with additional nuts & washers. No sandbags at the moment, but a couple of spare sand & gravel bags will do fine in the meantime.
Oh, and you can see where the tyre is in one of the photos. It's days for propping up satellite dishes might not be numbered yet though. ;)
