[QUOTE="LowNoiseBloke, post: 760468, member: 324466"] If it's not too late can I add my views - I have a Force Frontier T90 for about 6 years now and my experience is that these dishes are not really suitable for wall mounting - too big, heavy and awkward for anywhere other than a patio or a flat roof. There are times when you really need to get behind the dish to adjust skew etc and aim lnbs. To my mind doing this off a ladder is just too risky - a scaffolding tower might be OK as long as the A-frame holding the dish to the side of the house holds firm in strong winds. Another point to consider is how many lnbs can you actually support on the receiver side ?. Diseqc switches that support the number of satellites mentioned in this thread are not generally available in the UK or Ireland - if they are would someone let me know where !. Finally dishes like the T90 work by making a linear approximation to the curved arc that the satellites sit in. Over small angles this is a very good approximation but it does break down at the extreme ends, so don't expect the same signal strength on all sats that you would get from a motorized dish following the arc exactly.
