[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 449931, member: 262829"] Thanks a lot rolf for this thread and for the first post with details about how to use motors. I must admit that before reading the post, I never thought that I would have the knowledge to do anything about motorizing a dish, but now I am sure that I can. After reading more threads about motors, I understand that there are basically two DISEQ models made by Moteck and Stab. I was considering also a Manhattan, but then I read that it is made by Stab. Has there been any major players in this arena apart from Moteck and Stab or better specifications and quality ? Would the receiver be matched to the motor with all the settings and so if another similar receiver is used (or a new image is installed), the motor would have to be reset again ? There are claims that the motor is not fixed well to the dish and therefore the dish might snap off more easily than a fixed dish and could cause accidents flying off the roof. My problem at the moment is that I don't have at my present dwelling a lot of space movement eversince they built several high buildings around. In fact I was lucky to have a little spot for Hot Bird so a large arc would be in my dreams. I might be able to experiment somewhere else, perhaps at friends or relatives roofs, but it will not be the same as at your own home. So at the moment I am just trying to gather the right information and hopefully one day I can put it to practice. [/QUOTE]
