align your dish to your closest due south satellite which is 0.8w for most people in the uk mainland... you are correct a fixed dish of the same make,size,lnb ect would beat the motorised one slightly as a motorised dish always has a slight compromise ive found. this is why if after fringe satellites/txp,s its better to max on a weak bird/txp at the small .db reduction of the strong birds as a txp thats coming in at 17db or whatever would be at 16.5/16db. i dont think any polar mount can track the geo arc 100% and a extra elevation jack or an aegis motor can help as you know. there are much more clever guys on here than me who could give you a much more detailed explanation of the why,s ect. as for choice of motor id go with a darkmotor personally over the tm2600 although you need the hands of a 5 year old to screw the f cons on lol although its not a concern at ground level really
