[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 421988, member: 256551"] Yes, there are some b******y expensive ones by the looks of it, and only have a 60cm dish. There are also some f******g expensive ones with an 85cm dish. How good the reception is depends primarily on dish size, since for the ones I have seen, you can use your own receiver. No, its not too difficult setting up a standard motorised system, but it can take a little time; more time consuming than a basic fixed dish (couple of minutes with practice). I suppose if you did it frequently you could do it very quickly, but still probably get fagged off with keep doing it (especially after a drive and a hard days graft). I'm not sure what sort of jig you had in mind, (mechanics are not my forte, I'm an electronics engineer), but I think you would want to be able to change the azimuth and elevation of the dish independently for easier setup. I believe there are such motorised mounts available (other than the expensive caravan ones), I saw a post a while back from 'Likvid' mentioning one. [/QUOTE]
