[QUOTE="tb2000, post: 1159517, member: 419951"] Thanks all! Probably not, I like the pretty much instantanous switching of the diseqc switch and I don't really have anywhere to put a motorised setup with a decently sized dish at this time (i'd probably want at least a 1m dish for that to make sure)! I'm pretty happy with the Sky Zone 2 dish with 28.2e, 19.2e and 13e lnbs on it and the old Zone 1 pointing at 9e (sitting in what is basically a big flower pot in the patio! :D) I've tried for 5w on it but can't seem to pick it up, and there's a clear line of sight to it far as I can tell. Probably needs a bit bigger dish! As it is, it picks up all of the 9e transponders apart from 1 for some reason (12245 H on the German beam) and obviously the Italian beam ones. A few transponders disappear in bad weather. Maybe i'll get another larger dish, bolt it to the back of the house and get an 8 way diseqc at some point in the future! :cool: [/QUOTE]
